On Sept. 26 Marines with Engineer Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5-2, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), reload the TRAMs (Tractor, Rubber-tired, Articulated steering, Multi-purpose vehicles) after successfully emplacing force-protection barriers for the Iraqi Army. Engineer Company is made up of Marines from at least 10 different specialties who display a wide range of technical skills. They build and repair roads, install force protection barriers and maintain utilities for outposts and vehicle checkpoints in and around Fallujah. The company works mostly at night, taking full advantage of the 'magic window' provided by the Iraqi curfew, said Chief Warrant Officer Anthony J. Reiter, commander of Operations Platoon. Combat Logistics Regiment 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.
