    On Sept 27 Cpl. Brian A. McCourt, a heavy-equipment mechanic and contact noncommissioned officer with 2nd Platoon, Maintenance Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5-2, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), stands on a forklift platform to repair the boom cylinder on the arm of a 25-ton crane. McCourt, a 23-year-old from Pinellas Park, Fla., extended to serve a third deployment in Iraq and offers "a wealth of knowledge to the platoon," said Gunnery Sgt. Joseph P. Schaff, staff noncommissioned officer in charge and utilities chief for 2nd Platoon. Combat Logistics Battalion 5-2 is made up of Marines and sailors from 56 separate battalions, active and reserve, representing each of the three Marine Expeditionary Forces and Marine Forces Reserve. Maintenance Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5-2, 1st Marine Logistics Group is deployed with I MEF (FWD) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
