The Red Horse Compound aboard Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, is quiet with the exception of the low grumble of an idling 7-ton truck and the conversations of the few mechanics working on it. Most of the Marines of Company B, 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion, are sound asleep after last night's route clearance mission. Gunnery Sgt. Deon Farmer, the company maintenance officer-in-charge, walks the lot as he supervises his Marines' daily efforts to make sure the numerous vehicles in the company's motor pool are combat ready.
