JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq -- An Airman of the 732nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron stockpiles dirt with a bulldozer during construction of a new container repair yard Nov. 2, 2009. By using containers repaired here instead of purchasing new ones, the projected savings total more than $100 million as military assets withdraw from Iraq.
