Staff Sgt. Andrew Garza, Prime Power noncommissioned officer in charge at Forward Operating Base Shank, 249th Engineer Battalion, United States Forces-Afghanistan, left, and Pfc. Tyrone House, power optimization specialist, 249th Engineer Battalion, stand next to a new electrical transformer May 16, 2013, at Shank. The transformer replaced the previous one, which was destroyed by enemy fire. House and Garza are removing spot generators from Shank and bringing the base onto a power plant grid. Like the other soldiers at Shank, they said they will not let danger deter them from their mission. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Spc. Mark VanGerpen/RELEASED)
