50th MSB
Spends Weekend “On the Road”
By Staff Sgt. Barb Harbison, NJDMAVA/PA.
Members
of Company B 50th Main Support Battalion
spent Nov. 16 and 17, driving across the state –
from New Egypt to Vineland, Bordentown to
Dover, Fort Dix to Woodbridge, and other locations – transporting armor
and artillery equipment to National Guard units throughout the state. Transportation
company drivers were assigned, two
per vehicle, to tractor trailers and 5-ton trucks to get tanks,
personnel carriers and other vehicles from one site to
another. Once in place, the equipment will be used for
training. To keep the vehicles moving, the men and women
of Company B will also be on the road with “wreckers” –
the Army’s version of a tow truck – in the event of any
vehicle breakdown. Mechanics and other support personnel
will also be ready with their expertise.
Company
B, is located in Dover, and commanded by
Capt. Chad R. Thiemann.
