- U.S. Army Engineers demonstrate their capabilities utilizing the Improved Ribbon Bridge (IRB).
The Improved Ribbon Bridge (IRB) enables Soldiers to cross rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water in the absence of a means of crossing or in the event of an unreliable or damaged permanent bridge. The IRB can be configured as either a continuous full-closure bridge or assembled and used for rafting operations.

I have to agree with chicken wing, it's not a bridge but a ferry. I was an army engineer trained at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. What we used to build were constructions which connected two sides of a gap. That is what a bridge is designed to do. We made them of wood, rope, pontoons, and girders. One side gave access to one side of a gap and the other end gave access to the other side of the gap. I respect every man or woman who has served our country by serving in the various arms of the military. But Military intelligence has again brought into question their ability to recognize the difference between a horse and a horses ass.
Very reliable for rescue in natural events like after hurricanes,but in combat,'sitting ducks'. AF Vet.
Where ever the army goes, the ENGINEERS go FIRST!! ORRA.
That is USA Army guys , that is so damn fantastic. Very very cool. Damn hell
Impressive, nice little crosswind to keep it spicy
Cool! First time I ever saw this.

To all that serve, ever have, ever will. A profound thank you. Last night my family and I slept in peace. God bless Y'all. My dad served in the 443rd AABTN. WW2.
God bless! well done to your paps.
Thanks. He was a true hero.

Supposedly reserve units ski behind the boats.
Look at UK and German M3 amphibious rigs. The UK v USA river crossing race just lately was won by the UK, one hour ahead of the USA team. After watching this and the deployment of the M3, you will understand.

I am new to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but I am very interested and curious to start investing in it, although I do feel this is kind of late now. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Yes, you can start an investment, There are many reasons to invest in Bitcoin after understanding the market and risks.

Investing in Bitcoin is the number one thing one should be doing right now, although there are lots of risks the best way to invest is through cryptocurrency and Forex.
i did this back in late 80 early 90's
Does the IRB have any advantages over the German M3 Amphibious Rig?
This system seems far more complicated and labour intensive.
the us should buy those they are much faster
These maybe dated technology, but are simple, and harldy require any electronics systems to operate in case of electrical component failure.
the M3... still the best provisional bridge solution out there
The M3 is not as modular, cannot be emplaced long-term, cannot handle as large of loads, and requires more operators long-term in order to maintain position.The IRB offers much more flexibility and permits for the commander to really tailor the configuration to meet the mission needs. I like the M3, but I can think of many missions that I have been on where the M3 would have been ineffective.

this origin from Russian , they used it for Fresh water river only.
during my Combat Engineer time, Singapore used it for Sea , it very difficult to to maintenance, but Singapore totally discontinued.

It is not from Russia so people need to stop with the nonsense.
The engineers are always the first ones in and the last ones out
unbilivably video adds up Indian Army people all god bless all of Army
China have this too, it is called Boat Bridge Troops
China is number one copy
I think you guys should tie the boat up on two sides with two ropes,one side connects to one bank of river,the other side connects to the other bank of river.it will save much more time than this.
I don't know anything about this but I can't imagine what it would be like for an opposed crossing with the potential for artillery and airstrikes. They got big brass ones.
John 13:34 Jesus said, A new commandment I give unto you. That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
In der Zeit in der die Soldaten eine Pontonfähre aufgebaut haben, hätten wir damals(1973) einen komplette Pontonbrücke errichtet und ein Regiment übergesetzt.

Polish and Lithuanian army built the floating bidge across the Vistula river before the battle with the Teutonic Knights in the 1410.
I did it in 1987 at the Dutch corps of engineers.
Man, imagine having that job while angry people are shooting rifles, mortars, and heavy artillery at you.

to all the idiots who made stupid comments. Yes it is a Ferry. You build the ferry. you cross armored support first to secure the far shore. Then you build a full enclosure over a river to cross uninterrupted traffic.
And yes it can and has been built under fire. Twice in US military history first an older, more hand constructed version over the Rine in WW2. The second time I'd just as well not discuss. Essayons!
Essayons!
Great work
I was a powerboat operator and did this in the Army.Delta Co.13th Engineers.Good times.
Jesse Lopez What type of engineering degree did you have before you enlisted?
To do this job, you do not need an engineering degree. Enlist as a 12C to do this job.
I was a bridge crewmember,74th Engineer Co,Fort Hood,TX
The Russians are building a 10 kilometer long pontoon bridge in the same time. Able to withstand a busy train "train". At the same time, such a crossing can withstand even stronger waves on the water!
Yeah they are building hate from all over the world long. god damn cant just they mind their own business and let the world be happy nobody cares bout russia.
They can withstand a train but not Ukraine
Did my military service at such a unit 1981 in Sweden. Many exercises at night and opened the bridge for just one to two hours. When opened, it was go go go with almost no lights, very scary when driving heavy vehicles across the river.
At the same time false bridges were set up. An enemy aeroplane flying at high speed couldn´t see the difference.
The russians had at the time their version made of steel while ours were made of aluminium.
As an military activity it is very impressive to have experienced. Those were the days my friend..
Я знала инженера этого изобретения. Один инженеров ещё жив. Он был молодой лейтенант тогда.
I had the same in 1987. Especially in the dark with no lights and strong current was a ‘nice’ challenge 😅
So did you already use this system in 1981?
I like that as well by letting any and all the motors breath if posable and not so much weight for the bout or ankers or in any idea of project by letting the engine breath small but effective areas by or around the engine could be holes to help not over heat
ABig Salute for this efforts👍

Hmm, as a former engineer officer I also had to built bridges and ferries like these in the 80s.
Seems to me, they are rather slow with coupling the FFB-segments and wouldn't get by very good, if they had to do this in a river with a flow of 2 to 3 meters per second. That's the challenge, not to perform at lakelike waters in sunny weather.
If you want to built a FFB ferry or a bridge, you have to be fast as lightning. In our times you normally have betwen 10 to 20 minutes, until enenmy intelligence knows exactly, what you are doing and will attack the floating parts with artillery, drones, gliding bombs and so on. You have exactly three possibilities:
1. in and out of the water within 20 minutes
2. to be on the move all the time, with changing docking positions or
3. you have the absolute air and land superiority (but if you have these, you need no ferry or bridge. The military purpose of these is, to bring the heavy material over deeper waters, fast to the frontlines, after the infantry has cleared a bridgehead on the opposite shore/bank. This means normally, that the zone, where you are acting, is still extremely hot)

They didn't build a bridge they built a ferry.

Bonjour, c'est bien comme exercices pratiques pour les militaires,je suis curieux de savoir , c'est dans quel rivière, fleuve , océan,mer , quel continent, que cela s'effectue
@ badlanndskid
Those bridge boats have two 330 horsepower desiel engines manufactured in Great Britain
I live in Iraq, not the troops. The American armed forces were a strange commander whose weapons were very developed and that the American soldiers were wearing their special uniforms. The American tanks were developed by all weapons.
Thank you
It's takes ages to fix a small ferry. look at Russian very quickly they fix their bridge

Nice,
Reminds me of my time at dutch 105th corp of engineers in 1988
Building this floating bridge in 45 minutes (!) with a lenght of 135 meters (About 443 ft) across a big river during poor circumstances in winter
It’s original a Russian invention and probably updated by us corp engineers.
However , our towboats look to have bigger engines. These boats on the video are smaller and we had 3 parts on our boats with less soldiers to connect the parts.
I also noticed some dangerous handling of taking a cable away. This guy could lose his fingers or hand in stormy circumstances
Helmets are ‘not done ‘ in case you will fall in the water
Connecting by ropes when there is ice on the surface of the bridge will be slippery and can be dangerous. Just let the captain of the boat handle this by steering the parts nicely to the other parts
Still nice to remember
And we also used the parts in the Netherlands when a small part of a river broke though a dam and we helped farmers and other civilians in 1989

This could be useful for a bridgehead and something more permanent but could they do this while being strafed with aircraft, artillery and small arms fire with motors? In almost every battle where the army was attempting to make a bridgehead, the opposing side was defended by the enemy! It would requite lots of support. Can this support tanks?
I've never seen aircraft on a irb although I'm sure it can but yes to the rest from personal experience it can hold the weight
It is supposed to be built after they have taken the area
Alex Wong - So, it's main purpose is behind the front to allow tanks and support to reinforce the front, assuming that there is a front! This would be a good thing for often the enemy has destroyed the bridges, or sometime the US destroys the bridges to contain the enemy!
12cusa - What is a "ireb"? Never the less, I'm pretty sure that this would be easier to put up than a pontoon bridge or a constructed bridge under fire!
its a irb its a ribbon bridge here in Louisiana we have used them to transport troops with heavy equipment down water ways to build leves to stop flooding.
Olha!!! Que engenhosidade.
Круто , но очень долго , ловить эти куски , крутить....первый ставишь с него следующий сбрасываешь в воду и сразу фиксируешь и так далее. А теперь представьте какой цирк будет если это надо будет монтировать под обстрелом ?
Good material
Oh cool ! Finally did something with the great idea of the Bailey bridge.
This is absolutely nothing like the Bailey Bridge. Float Bridging has been around longer than the idea of modular steel framed bridges. Heck, the Bailey Bridge has been improved on by the Mabry-Johnson and others. Still can't beat the Bailey for it's variety though: I know many which have been permanently emplaced by municipalities.
It is the first one i saw being built. My dad was a welder and he was repairing one for the Canadian Legion for something or other. It's a good one. Having said that, Archimedes had a bridge that did the same kind of thing. Been around for a very long time which figures, it solves a very important difficulty
new

Archimedes huh...
Dont think so could ne mistaking his displacement and weaponry off of decks.
Let me check.
Didnt find a bridge but a big boat ya still he was beyond remarkable wouldnt surprise me.
real demo I saw here in Bangalore one of defense museum
good job

Few floatation vests or belts!
That's not a bridge, that's a ferry.
It's a bridge section, we use boats to connect the sections together and make a bridge but you're right they can be used to ferry vehicles too
Still not a bridge ?
+Sons of Zadok this is true

Not a bride but a ferry, useless to get many vechicles and men across quickly. 3 tours in Vietnam and saw many bridges built by the Corps of engineers,.
There should be a protection to more on the sides of the bridge for the soldiers to enemy attack surprise!?
why it's all about machines Of War..I see people don't mind about Peace
You don't mind about something normal no matter how essential it is. Do you mind about air everyday?
Want peace? Be prepared for war...

How long the people can built a bridge on heavy water streams and how the army people can save themselves during wars🤔🤔🤔
hi
@@rubelsheikh7330 hi
The only place you're likely to find "Heavy water" is in a Nuclear Reactor. If you see a "Heavy water stream", I'd say run, but its not as if you'll be able to tell its heavy water.
.
Coming back to your question, they can build bridges upto 100 meters long (or even more if required). Indian Army is one of the best at this because Pakistan's primary defence against India, especially in Punjab, consists of a network of canals that all form a defensive barrier. And so Indian Army pays special attention to canal crossing ops. These days, DRDO is building newer generation bridges like Sarvatra Bridging System (22 bridges already inducted), Short Span Bridging System (110 on order) and the Amphibious Floating Bridge and Ferry System (AFFS, under development).
.
As for how these bridges are defended, the first action is to establish a defensive head on the other bank of the canal. These are then reinforced by Infantry Combat Vehicles that can simply float across like a boat. They are further supported by Artillery and Attack Helicopters. This way, they protect the area where bridge is to be made.
Impressive, yet manual work 😁 we have the technology to do that with the touch of the button, by the time soldiers need to asemble this the war has finished
But this is better because construction of a concrete/metal bride takes years to complete and at the time of war if the concrete/metal bridges are to be destroyed then this is the only way. It is better to construct a bridge manually which might take a few days rather than years (where war would surely end).
Well, on a computer its touch of a button. In real life we bridged rivers in hours so the armor and infantry could roll on. Often under fire. Instead of months to years.
Ang lupit
Seems quite long-winded and laborious for what is essentially a ferry/floating platform.
Just ...wish god knows or protect them ameen
So it's basically a ferry?!
in this instance, yes sir.
When moving large amounts of vehicles, the ferry option is of no use.
You have the time window to think of.
Transport as fast as you can before enemy discovers you and fire at you!
