Sgt. Paul Geren (right), of Battle Creek, Mich., and Lance Cpl. Michael Stout (left), of Fremont, Mich., finalize construction of a pull-up bar at Patrol Base New Jersey, Afghanistan, Nov. 23. Geren, a combat engineer, and Stout, a motor transportation mechanic, are members of Combat Logistics Company 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward). The CLC, which is comprised of two engineer platoons and one motor transportation platoon, is an element of Combat Logistics Battalion 6 and was formed to provide direct support to 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, during Operation Eastern Storm. Engineers were tasked with building several of the patrol bases along Route 611. Once force protection measures were in place, such berms and concertina, the Marines then built comfort items that included benches, hygiene facilities and gym equipment for the infantrymen operating from the bases.
