AR RAMADI Iraq (July 5, 2005) - Lance Cpl. Daniel R. Jones, a mortar man with 1st Section, 2nd Platoon, Company W, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, squats on one knee to get leverage so he can break a lock to building that needs searching during a mission in the city here July 5. His comrade, Lance Cpl. Charles A. Cowin, an assault man with 2nd Section and 20-year-old from Rich Hill, Mo., assists him. The 22-year-old Jones from Monument, Colo., and Marines with 2nd Platoon conducted a proactive operation to encourage Ar Ramadi citizens to move their trashcans off the streets and place them in the yards and behind their homes. The Iraqi government recently distributed new, orange, industrial-sized trash containers throughout the city for citizens to use to clean up rubbish, but Marine officials with the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines suspect insurgents will exploit them for terror and place improvised explosive devices in them.
