work: Members of the 1st Battalion 17th Infantry Regiment run by b Lt. Col. Jonathan Neumann during physical training on base at Fort Lewis Friday morning, March 14, 2008. These soldiers are with the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, which was formed in April 2007. The biggest change at Fort Lewis most visible to South Sound residents over the last five years is the population growth at the Army post. In that time, Fort Lewis has grown by more than 6,000 soldiers, largely due to the Army's decision to establish a third Stryker brigade there. (Steven M. Herppich/The Olympian)
