Short, a heavy equipment operator with Support Platoon, Company A, 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 5, inspects the hole he dug to make sure it is big enough to fit a bridge anchor for the Wahid Bridge in al-Anbar province, Iraq, Sept. 17. The anchors were installed into the banks of the Euphrates River to correct a curve that has developed in the bridge. Marines with Company A and Iraqi Army engineers worked together to put the anchors, which will be tied to the bridge at a later date, in place.::r::::n::
