Lance Cpl. Dan Jackson, an anti-tank missileman with Weapons Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, waits in the gun turret of a Motorized All-Terrain Vehicle to begin Exercise Clear, Hold, Build 4 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Sept. 26, 2011. During the evolution, the Marines of 3/3 transitioned from clearing a village’s enemy threat to re-building rapport with its citizens. The counterinsurgency training, part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper exercise, marked the completion of seven months of pre-deployment training for “America’s Battalion.” Next month, they will deploy to Afghanistan to support combat operations in Helmand province. Jackson, 22, is from Cincinnati.
