Marines with Company L, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, clear a house during Operation Pit Bull in Barwanah, Iraq, Feb. 14, 2006. The Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based battalion has been in the area for more than five months conducting counter-insurgency operations and providing stability to the 'Triad' area of Haqlaniyah, Barwanah and Haditha. Marines and Iraqi Army soldiers worked side-by-side during the mission, securing the town of Sakran to ensure insurgents no longer use it as a logistical staging point or to launch attacks on the town's much larger neighbor - Barwanah. In the past, weapons caches and bomb-making material have been found here, prompting Marines and Iraqi soldiers to clear the town. (Official Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam C. Schnell)
