Army National Guard Combat Support Vessel. I have no idea what is
does and there wasn't any Guard types around to answer a few
questions.

I will find out though - maybe tomorrow.

Looks like a pretty tough boat... they probably drop it out the back of
C-130s whenever they need a boat. I mean "Combat Support... could be
anything!

Cool pics, thanks for posting.

They are assigned to Engineer Bridge Companies. Air transportable, yes, air
dropable, never heard of it (after many years as a Combat Engineer).

That's a bridge erection boat, used by Engineers when constructing floating
bridges. It's also used as the prime mover for four or five floating bridge
sections being used as rafts. May also be used as a utility boat.

Ad a .50 caliber, and I suppose it does whatever it wants. ;-) That seems
