Marines with Echo Company, Afghan Uniformed Police patrolmen, and interpreters gathered around a fire became a common sight and a daily occurrence during Operation Double Check. The Marines and their Afghan counterparts are participating in the operation to promote legitimate governance and security within the Musa Qal’eh district by removing insurgent support and established new AUP security posts. When not completing objectives, patrolling, or holding security posts, the coalition teammates are often found around the fire within the security post. It offers them a chance to pass their spare time with good conversation and an opportunity to fight temperatures as cold as 12 degrees Fahrenheit during the hours of darkness.::r::::n::::r::::n::::r::::n::
