News Stories The Growth of Governance in Now Zad, Afghanistan
On Dec. 7, in the Now Zad district of northern Helmand province, there was an unnoticed but significant step toward transition in Afghanistan. On that day, several local government officials attended a shura, a meeting between Afghans, to discuss security on the key road into the Now Zad district. This was the first gathering of Afghan government officials addressing a regional problem ever held in northern Helmand province.

 Dade City, Fla. Marine’s versatility rewarded
Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to young Marines serving in austere environments of Southwest Afghanistan. The ability to adjust on the move is a trait often taking years of experience to master. Whether it was running hundreds of miles of cable or occasionally taking up a machine gun during convoys, one regimental Marine used his versatility and drive to finish his deployment stronger and better than begun.

 The road less travelled; Marines push COIN along Route 611
The dirt along Route 611 has been pulverized to dust, turned to a trail of fine powder dotted with boot prints belonging to the Marines of Company A, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. The footprints cover the landscape, blown away by wind, convoys of armored transports and civilian caravans, only to be replaced the following morning by another series of exhausting patrols.
