    Cpl. Christopher L. Monson, from Blackfoot, Idaho, an automated maintenance technician with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), uses a gas torch to cut off the rails of a bridge in the Gamsir District, Helmand province, Afghanistan, June 16, 2011. The Marines placed a bridge over the Darvishan Bridge as a temporary fix to allow Afghan contractors to repair it without stopping traffic in the area. This project will directly benefit the Marines of 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.) who are currently operating in the district in support of the International Security Assistance Force as well as the local population.
