Summary

U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Bruce Poucher, first mate assigned to the 481st Transportation Company (Heavy Boat), prepares to unchain cargo during an equipment and supply drop in support of Mertarvik Innovative Readiness Training in Kodiak, Alaska, June 10, 2013. The crew of Army mariners, in partnership with Marines and local Alaskan authorities, are supporting the inter-agency task force by transporting personnel, equipment and supplies between various locations in order to help construct essential infrastructure to facilitate the Newtok’s relocation efforts. The Newtok, a Yupik Eskimo village of about 400 people on the Ninglick River in western Alaska, is threatened by erosion, and melting and sinking permafrost. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
