00:06.165 --> 00:07.295
- [Michael] Members of the South Dakota

00:07.295 --> 00:10.360
^Army National Guard's 842nd Engineer Company worked

00:10.360 --> 00:14.072
^to finish a road at Armon Dam October first and second.

00:14.072 --> 00:16.897
^- We're out here don't some clean up and touch up work

00:16.897 --> 00:19.897
^that was left over from AT this year

00:19.949 --> 00:24.032
^when the 260th was in here constructing the road.

00:25.457 --> 00:27.489
We, as an engineering company, our mission

00:27.489 --> 00:29.537
is to go out and move dirt.

00:29.537 --> 00:31.294
Anytime we get a chance to come out here

00:31.294 --> 00:33.985
and do stuff like this, it just hones our skills,

00:33.985 --> 00:36.318
makes us more mission ready.

00:36.818 --> 00:38.830
- This project is one of many training opportunities

00:38.830 --> 00:41.983
the Guard participates in to support the community.

00:41.983 --> 00:43.922
- We're just doing top soil reclamation

00:43.922 --> 00:46.489
and final shaping to get it all dressed up.

00:46.489 --> 00:48.391
We got some young supervisors that

00:48.391 --> 00:51.141
are learning how to run projects.

00:51.322 --> 00:54.039
It's very beneficial, because if you don't

00:54.039 --> 00:57.388
get out here and practice your skills, you get very rusty.

00:57.388 --> 01:00.619
Having been on two deployments, if you don't

01:00.619 --> 01:02.009
know what you're doing it can actually

01:02.009 --> 01:03.861
affect your mission capability.

01:03.861 --> 01:08.028
- Reporting from Armon Dam, I'm Staff Sergeant Michael Beck.
