    Captain Jesse Hills, the team leader for Team 3, Civil Affairs Detachment 11-2, shares a laugh with students talking to Team 3's linguist, while visiting the school here Feb. 22, 2012. The Marines of Team 3 provided guidance to the local government here to help them construct a new school. The current school is made of mud and mortar, is overcrowded and only has enough capacity to hold up to sixth grade. The new school will have up to eighth grade and have more than enough room for students and teachers. Hills is from Terre Haute, Ind., and is serving under Regimental Combat Team 5 and alongside 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in Helmand province.
