    FORWARD OPERATING BASE INKERMAN, Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan - Cpl. Nicholas D. Pelusio, a team leader for 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, sights in on suspicious activity while patrolling out to conduct a night observation post in Sangin, June 7. Night observation posts enable the Marines of 1st Platoon to maintain a 24-hour presence in their area of operations. “A 24-hour presence means that there is always a patrol out walking the area of operations. We are trying to walk around and hit every area of every sector at least once a day while talking to the people,” said Pelusio, from Las Vegas and a 2006 graduate of Bonanza High School. “We are constantly patrolling the area because we are seeing how the enemy is reacting to us and our 24-hour presence.”
