    On Oct. 25 Sgt. Alexander Castro, security commander with Security Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 1, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), takes a breath before patrolling through the Iraqi desert while engaging in an escort mission in Al Anbar Province. Marines with military occupational specialties ranging from infantrymen to landing support specialists, provide security for re-supply and explosive ordinance disposal missions. "The job is stressful due to the fact that we could be called at anytime to do countless missions per day," said Castro, 24, security commander for 2nd Platoon and a native of Visalia, Calif. "When I leave the base, I just clear my mind of emotions." Security Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 1, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) is deployed with I MEF (FWD) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
