Security Company Marines remain vigilant for the numerous dangers present in the city of Fallujah. Gunners stand in the humvee weapon mounts, binoculars trained on the horizon, scanning building windows for snipers and the roads ahead for vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices. Other Marines dismount and provide direct security on foot for explosive ordinance disposal technicians, whose concentration remains focused on the potential bomb threat. What's most exciting is heading out into the unknown, said Cpl. Jason D. Green, a 24-year-old vehicle commander with Security Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward). Green, of Meridian, Id. explained that in the unfamiliar, urban territory of Fallujah, fighting a faceless enemy always keeps these security Marines focused. "You have to count on (the other Marines) so you can take care of your mission," said Green. "(We have) a very strong bond because you have to rely on the brother next to you." Combat Logistics Battalion 5 is deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
