A soldier from 911th U.S. Army Technical Rescue Engineer Company and a Marine with Chemical Biological Incident Response Force's Technical Rescue Platoon asses the condition of the void on the opposite side of a concrete barrier before breaking through to potentially rescue trapped victims in the void of a simulated collapse. This joint 72-hour technical rescue training operation with the 911th U.S. Army Technical Rescue Engineer Company at Downey Responder Training Facility allowed the two units take the opportunity to train together to build a good working relationship and familiarity of each other's capabilities and limitations. Since both units cover the National Capitol Region, in the event of a disaster both units would work side by side.
