A soldier from 911th U.S. Army Technical Rescue Engineer Company and a Marine from Chemical Biological Incident Response Force’s Technical Rescue Platoon use a jack hammer in a very cramped tunnel to break through a wall of concrete to gain access to a "victim" trapped in a void during the first day of the joint 72-hour technical rescue training operation with the 911th Engineer Battalion, Technical Rescue Detachment at Downey. The two units take the opportunity to train together to build a good working relationship and familiarity of each other’s capabilities and limitations because they both cover the National Capitol Region and would have to work together if there were ever a disaster.
