Spc. John Perea of Thornton, Colo., conducts security for the members of a Provincial Reconstruction Team while on a mission in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, Aug. 9. Perea, who is assigned to Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 157th Field Artillery, Colorado Army National Guard, 115th Fires Brigade, maintains a secured perimeter around members of the PRT at the Fuel Distribution Center in Al Anbar province. "Staying vigilant is paramount to the safety of any and all individuals [we protect] to include civilians," said Perea. "[It] can and will help prevent or defuse a situation before it gets out of hand. If something does happen, and it wasn't preventable, it's better to be ready to react than be caught off guard."
