A Bridge Quite Far: Engineers Team Up In Poland
British and German engineers have worked together to build the largest amphibious M3 bridge ever made.
The pontoon bridge was set up near the Polish town of Chelmo, having been constructed from 30 British and German army M3 Amphibious Rigs (self-propelled amphibious bridging vehicles).
The bridge, built as part of Exercise Anakonda, was finished in just under half an hour, before being crossed by 300 vehicles, including tanks, from the US Cavalry.
The exercise has brought in 31,000 troops from 20 countries to Poland to test the readiness and interoperability of the Poles with their allies.
