A Marine with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment provides overwatch security as Marines and Iraqi Army soldiers clear the city in Haditha, Iraq, Oct. 5, 2005. In an effort to take back the town that was once heavy with insurgent activity, the Marines rid the city of multiple landmines, weapons caches and improvised explosive devices in just a few days. The Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based battalion has spent the past six months conducting counter-insurgency operations and provides stability to the 'Triad' area of Haqlaniyah, Barwanah and Haditha. During their tour here, the Marines found more than 350 enemy weapons caches and conducted more than 10 counter insurgency operations. Met with little resistance, the Marines cleared the city of insurgent activities. (Official Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam C. Schnell)
