Imagine if we had this capability during WWII.

We kinda did

?????

Seabees built some amazing stuff during WW2

The Civil War:

My Grandfather was in the Pattons 3rd Army - Army Corp Engineer Division. Always said the proudest moment of the war was getting their bride completed to cross the Rhine. It’s the little things like this that help me remember all the moving parts in our world! No Job to big or small, just do it to the best of your ability! That’s being American!

The capability has existed since before roman times. The US did have transportable bridges in ww2

😐

Imagine I had a machine gun during Roman time

Back in '64 (18, specifically,) Grant's pontoon bridge over the James River was 700 yds long

We did, the Mulberry harbours were a stroke of genius and were a key weapon in the allied logistics arsenal

Imagine if we didn't fight with the Communists to completely destroy Europe with endless brown immigrants

True friends help each other

Are you fucking retarded? This is very old technology, it was around long before WWII.

12 Charlie baby!

In 1992 in Holland, I was in a reserve combat engineer Battalion in Jersey City. We built a 180 meter Baileys Bridge. Also ribbon and Medium Guider Bridges

Biggest threat to river bridging equipment and personnel involved in all future wars will be the thousands of drones which will attack anything that moves !

@WhiteBirchMuse You mean like how Xerxes bridged the Bosporus?

We did. It was called the Bailey Bridge. And you can thank us Brits for it.

My friend would have loved these! Unfortunately… [two M60A1 tanks from 1/68 Armor, 8th ID in the Rhine around March-April 1976 or 1977 (there is a Mobile Assault Bridge under them)]

We could've been even more efficient at killing each other for communism?

Used to be the 502nd MRBC outta Hanau… DAMN I’m old

Europa Bridge, Budapest.

Saw something similar on the banks of the Suez Canal a few years ago

Damn, that gave me a chubby.

In Sweden during the cold war days

We did

Me not knowing if it’s bait or your just a fucking idiot?

'Tell our British cousins to hustle up some Bailey stuff'

GI Joe had that in 1984

In WW2, somebody would have been shooting at them.

Did we not pretty much air drop a bridge at chosen

Imagine if Hitler had the capability, he would have won the war.

We did this. But helicopters brought in our sections and dropped them. Cool to see.
