Sgt. Benjamin Snyder, a squad leader assigned to the Hawaii-based Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment peeks around a corner during a four-hour patrol in the streets of Haqlaniyah, Iraq July 13, 2006. Marines here say the amount of insurgent attacks against Coalition and Iraqi military forces have drastically decreased since three Marines eliminated two insurgents in a counterattack in front of the forward operating base here last month. In the last few weeks, Iraqi soldiers - who are partnered with 3rd Battalion - began spearheading daily patrols throughout the city, which Marines say was once a breeding ground for the insurgency. Just six weeks ago, Marines led the patrols, outnumbering their Iraqi counterparts each time they stepped "outside the wire." Now, the Iraqis outnumber the Marines, and make all tactical decisions during each mission - a stark contrast from when the Marines arrived in Iraq four months ago. (Photo by Sgt. Roe F. Seigle)
