Army Spcs. Scott Mouton, left, and Mason Guidry and other soldiers carry a HESCO barrier on Avoca Island in advance of expected river flooding in Morgan City, La., Jan. 9, 2016. The soldiers are assigned to the Louisiana National Guard’s 2225th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 205th Engineer Battalion, 225th Engineer Brigade. The barrier will be used in the construction of a 2-mile-long levee to prevent backwater flooding from reaching Morgan City and other towns in southern Louisiana due to high river levels.
