Pictured here are soldiers from Red Platoon: an Infantry platoon from Bravo Company attached to the tankers of Delta Company for the duration of this deployment. (Bravo Company has a platoon of tankers from Delta Company as well.) The tankers enjoy harassing the Infantry that changing Bradley track is much easier than tank track. Having never changed Bradley track, I wouldn't know. It is an eternal truth in the military that your job is more difficult than the job of the guy next to you--at least it's strangely comforting to believe it is. 



I would have to say that I was impressed with Red Platoon's execution of this task. Maybe it was the heat and dust motivating them to finish as quickly as possible. Whatever it was, they worked well together--communicating, motivating, and correcting each other as necessary. Let's not forget, that this is a task that even if it is done quickly, it must be done properly; no one wants to have to recover a vehicle from sector and tow it back to the COP.
