    Pictured is the area where 3rd Squad, 2nd Platoon, Charlie Company struck an improvised explosive device on May 25. Their patrol base can be seen on the hill in the background. Two casualties were taken during the blast; one Marine is improving each day at Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., while the other has since joined the squad. They were the first unit from 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment to take combat related casualties during their deployment here.
