Civil engineers from 113th Wing, District of Columbia

Civil engineers from 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard, traveled to the Republic of Moldova to work alongside Moldavian contractors within impoverished communities as part of a humanitarian civic assistance mission and deployment for training program July 15 to Aug 1. Organized by the United States European Command (EUCOM) and identified by the U.S. Embassy in Moldova, Guard members installed new sidewalks, laminate flooring, ceramic tiling, suspended ceiling grid/tile, doors and frames, new wallpaper as well as light electrical work at two schools in the Village of Hulboaca and in the Community of Gratiesti. Moreover, for some Guard members, it was the first time they worked on a mission that required working alongside primarily civilians in a host country.
