    Sgt. Shawn Peterson, a 27-year-old native of Missoula, Mont., pours freshly mixed concrete into a crater on May 25, 2006, during a route repair mission. The threat of improvised explosive devices is one of the main reasons the Marines conduct route repairs. Not only are they a hazard to military convoys, but the craters created when an IED explodes provides insurgents with a hiding spot to place future devices. The roads Charlie Company, commonly referred to as "Hell-Bent Charlie" and part of Combat Logistics Battalion 5 based at Camp Fallujah, work on are often traveled by Iraqi citizens, but are also used by American service members and Iraqi Security Forces.
