    Cpl. Josiah M. Bailey, a 20-year-old from Coryden, Ind., keeps watch from behind his M-240G automatic machine gun. Bailey, assigned to B Company, 2nd Reconaissance Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 5, is performing missions and using gear many Recon Marines would have never dreamed of using. Recon Marines in Iraq are moving about their area in armored humvees with complete body armor and using heavy weapons, tools not traditionally associate with reconnaissance, where lighter usually better. Recon Marines in Iraq are working in roles beyond just gathering intelligence on the enemy. They routinely kill and capture insurgents on their own.
