    The Pathfinder Mudhif at Contingency Operating Base Adder is built entirely from materials harvested from the local marshes and by a crew of craftsmen from the region. Its completion will serve as a lasting monument to the task force's unconventional mission, while displaying the commitment the United States has to ensuring that local history and heritage are not forgotten.
