An Iraqi solider guides locals along a channel of concertina wire to a polling site in Haditha, Iraq, Dec. 15, 2005. The Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, which trained Iraqi soldiers, provided additional security during Iraq's historic national elections last year. More than 15,000 people showed here to cast their vote and be a part of the history and future of Iraq. The battalion has spent the past six-month conducting counter-insurgency operations and providing 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. (Official Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam C. Schnell)
