Soldiers, from Foxtrot Company, 2nd Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, ride in on their zodiac boats during their waterborne operations training at Mott Lake last week. Zodiacs are inflatable boats the pathfinders, as well as other military units, use for water movement operations, said Pfc. Carl J. Parsons, a native of Orlando, Fla., and rifleman with 2nd Patoon. The purpose of the training was to test out the unit’s equipment in preparation of a natural disaster, said Capt. Kevin J. Stein, the company commander.
