A large armored flat bed truck from the 859th Engineer Company (Vertical), Mississippi Army National Guard, rolls over a freshly filled pothole at Forward Operating Base Fenty, July 18, 2013. Five Soldiers from the 859th, form a small road crew charged with filling the potholes that have formed on the base’s main road. The high temperatures in Afghanistan force the soldiers to work at night, when the cooler temperatures allow the repaired potholes to properly set. Larger potholes such as this one are filled with mixture of sand, dirt and rocks, which when water is added and the ground is packed down, will harden into a concrete like substance in the 115 degree temperature of an Afghanistan summer.
