English: In the early morning hours at Al Asad, Iraq, Aug. 1, 2006, Cpl. Christopher J. Sorensen uses hand and arm signals to guide an Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge, driven by Cpl. Stephen R. Uniszkiewicz, into position to tow a broken M1A1 Main Battle Tank so it can be repaired. Both Marines are tank mechanics with the Twentynine Palms, Calif.-based Company C, 1st Tank Battalion. Company C is currently attached to Regimental Combat Team 7, the U.S. military unit responsible for providing security and mentoring Iraqi Security Forces in western Anbar � an area more than 30,000 square-miles in size, or about the size of South Carolina, according to the Marines here. In addition to supporting the regiment �s infantrymen with massive amounts of firepower on the battlefield, Company C�s tanks and their crews are considered an invaluable asset to Marines �on the ground� � they add an extra layer of protection for patrols and convoys traveling Iraq�s bomb-laden roads. The unit�s mechanics log in 12-plus hour days, usually six or more days a week, turning wrenches and repairing parts to keep the 68-ton behemoths operational. The mechanics say that for every hour a tank is operated, about six hours of regular maintenance is required to keep the tank operable, �give or take.� Sorensen is a 21-year-old from Badger, Iowa. Cpl. Stephen R. Uniszkiewicz is a 21-year-old from Center Reach, N.Y. |
