Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan – Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), patrol through farmlands to provide security in the area. Farmers in this area have started replacing poppy (in the foreground) with wheat (on the other side of the path). The Marines’ efforts to build relationships with the local populace aided in reducing enemy attacks on 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, and 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, by 60 percent.
