SCHWEINFURT, Germany -- Spc. Octavio Nunez, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion 26th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division, places a chock block on the side of a tire for vehicle stability during rail-loading operations. "It takes a lot of time to load these vehicles," said Nunez. "You have to do it slowly to make sure everything is in the right place, safety is priority."
