    The image shows a dirt road or open area adjacent to a military-style fortified perimeter wall constructed from HESCO barriers (sand-filled wire mesh containers). Several stagnant water pools have accumulated in the red-clay soil, with some showing a greenish or iridescent sheen suggesting algae growth or possible contamination. The setting appears to be a forward operating base or military installation in an arid region.

    Marines with Engineer Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 46, will be repairing a drainage problem aboard Combat Outpost 160K, Iraq, which has caused this pool of gray water to form right outside the base, Oct. 16. In addition to the plumbing repairs the Marines will also be upgrading doors to improve security and improving electrical wiring.
