Lance Cpl. Kevin Joseph, a mortarman with Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, perches atop a mound of sand to view enemy activity in a village during Exercise Clear, Hold, Build 4 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Sept. 26, 2011. During the evolution, the Marines of 3/3 transitioned from clearing the village's enemy threat to re-building rapport with its citizens. The counterinsurgency training, part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper exercise, marked the completion of seven months of pre-deployment training for "America's Battalion." Next month, they will deploy to Afghanistan to support combat operations in Helmand province. Joseph, 20, is from Sarasota, Fla.
