A U.S. convoy rolls through the town here stopping at random intervals ensuring there are no explosive devices. Local citizens sit along the adobe buildings and stare at this everyday occurrence. As the vehicles suddenly stop and the Marines from one humvee get out and walk to the back of the vehicle, the locals appear nervous by the new and unusual action. The group of Marines return with boxes filled with stuffed animals and soccer balls while children quickly gather to receive the gifts. Civil Affairs Group Marines experience this sort of scenario nearly everyday.
