00:04.240 --> 00:08.240
soldiers

00:08.240 --> 00:10.230
of the 3 0/7 Engineer Battalion

00:10.240 --> 00:12.407
recently took part in a river crossing

00:12.407 --> 00:14.573
competition Commemorating the crossing

00:14.573 --> 00:16.740
of the Wall River and Operation Market

00:16.740 --> 00:18.962
Garden , the largest airborne operation

00:18.962 --> 00:21.073
in U . S . History . Lieutenant James

00:21.073 --> 00:23.018
Cunningham tells us more about the

00:23.018 --> 00:25.184
significance of the competition . This

00:25.184 --> 00:27.351
is a commemorative event Across in the

00:27.351 --> 00:29.462
Wall River during market garden where

00:29.462 --> 00:31.407
the 307 engineers successfully . I

00:31.407 --> 00:33.629
should across the 3rd Energy Brigade of

00:33.629 --> 00:35.462
the 82nd and what they do , they

00:35.462 --> 00:37.518
propose that issue . The engineers ,

00:37.518 --> 00:39.629
Hey , here's the problem . We need to

00:39.629 --> 00:39.590
get here so we can meet the enemy ,

00:39.590 --> 00:42.170
accomplished this task and he goes up

00:42.170 --> 00:45.490
to engineers to solve it . This unit is

00:45.490 --> 00:47.601
steeped in heritage and it's probably

00:47.601 --> 00:49.601
the largest event in the history of

00:49.601 --> 00:49.320
this unit that we take a lot of pride

00:49.320 --> 00:51.810
and I think this is really embodied and

00:51.810 --> 00:53.532
that pride is embodied in this

00:53.532 --> 00:55.532
particular event . We had to paddle

00:55.532 --> 00:57.754
across the river getting the instrument

00:57.754 --> 00:59.977
across and this or symbolizes what that

00:59.977 --> 01:02.199
means . There's something that when you

01:02.199 --> 01:02.050
look at the unit and what it's done in

01:02.050 --> 01:04.440
the past and the successes it has . And

01:04.440 --> 01:06.607
that tradition makes people want to be

01:06.607 --> 01:08.830
a part of that team . Go any time you

01:08.830 --> 01:10.774
get these guys together to compete

01:10.774 --> 01:12.941
against the other companies with tunes

01:12.941 --> 01:15.108
they're always gonna want to win . And

01:15.108 --> 01:17.386
it brings out a lot of esprit de corps .

01:17.386 --> 01:19.608
We knew just a little extra effort . It

01:19.608 --> 01:21.608
was going to go a long way for Fort

01:21.608 --> 01:23.441
Bragg . I'm army Sergeant joseph

01:23.441 --> 01:23.890
Nieto's

01:23.920 --> 01:27.650
