101st Airborne troops will stay in 3D-printed barracks on border deployment
Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are set to live in newly unveiled 3D-printed barracks at an Army base in Texas. The barracks are intended for transient soldiers, including those from the 1st Mobile Brigade "Bastogne" unit, who are deploying to the U. S.
-Mexico border. The 3D-printed buildings are part of a larger contract to build 10 barracks that can accommodate 560 troops. Two of these buildings have already opened at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Further details about the deployment and the new barracks can be found through official Army releases. The new living quarters are expected to provide convenient housing for soldiers serving on the southern border, eliminating the need for lengthy commutes. More information is available from the source.
