US Army’s 176th Engineer Company, WAANG, the U.S. Marine Corps’ 9th Engineer Support Battalion, and Canada’s 1 Engineer Support Unit teamed up with the Mongolian armed forces' 017 Construction Regiment to complete construction renovations on the Erdmiin Orgil High School in Nalaikh District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Cracks in the roof and walls had caused leaks into the school’s classrooms and gymnasium. The team also completed a wheelchair-accessible ramp. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
