It’s a car designed to be customized, and for five Soldiers from the 55th Mobility Augmentation Company, their vision of a tricked-out Scion xB won them a chance to prove it.

Spc. Harold Yeo, Pfc. Nate Machowski, Pfc. Joseph Schneider, Pfc. Dan Ward and Spc. Dustin Reed, all 55th MAC, 4th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, bested 28 other military entries in the Scion Battle of Builds 2010 with their “Team Sapper” entry to be in the final three of the competition. The competition shifts from a concept of a customized ride on paper to actually producing the creation.
