Full title:Building a Pontoon Bridge. The first section is assembled on the shore and carried quickly into the water, where
it is attached to the supporting cable on which it slides further mid-stream as other sections are added. This unit, under
the direction of Captain Nakada, 232nd engineers, can assemble a pontoon bridge in a matter of minutes. The 442nd combat team
at Camp Shelby is composed entirely of Americans of Japanese descent who volunteered for services in the armed forces. This
unit of approximately 8000 men is undergoing intensive training in all branches of combat duty, and they are looking forward
with eagerness to actual services at the front.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Camp Shelby, Mississippi.
