    HUSAYBAH, Iraq- Marines to 1st platoon, India Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines and Iraqi Army soldiers prepare to enter a house during Operation Steel Curtain. The combined force, 1,000 Iraqi Army soldiers including local Sunni soldiers recruited from the Al Qa'im region and 2,500 Marines, Soldiers and Sailors are clearing the city, house by house, discovering weapons caches, insurgent propaganda and improvised bombs. The arms, munitions, bomb-making material, artillery and mortar shells converted to homemade bombs found in these cache sites continue to validate suspicions that insurgents used Al Qa'im as a safe haven.
