Living In Pods

Living conditions for 1-14 Cav Soldiers have vastly improved over the past several months. Moving from sleeping in, under or around their Strykers, then to tents, they are now sleeping in pre-fab sleeping pods. Each pod accommodates two Soldiers and all of their gear. It's their home away from home. It's the only place they can call their own.

The pods have electricity but no air conditioning. Temperatures in the spring months can get well into the 90's and in the summer months they climb even further - well into triple digits. Night time temperatures are in the 60's this time of year. The summer night temperatures may force Soldiers to move outside to sleep.
