FORWARD OPERATING BASE INKERMAN, Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan - Sgt. Michael P. Hodge, a squad leader for 1st Platoon, Company B, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, looks out over a compound wall to determine the sectors of fire during a night observation post in Sangin, June 7. “Night OP’s prevent the enemy from putting in improvised explosive devices or pre-stage ammo and weapons in fighting positions,” said Hodge. “Us being around at night also prevents the enemy from being able to do their murder and intimidation of the people.” Hodge, 23, is from Lemoore, Calif., and graduated from Lemoore High School in 2005.
