Sgt. Juan Gutierrez, assistant wire chief for Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, enjoys some time with his 4-year-old daughter before departing Marine Corps Base Hawaii on a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, April 25. Over the course of the week, approximately 550 Marine and sailors from 1/12 left Hawaii to replace 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, in Afghanistan's Helmand province. Unlike their last two deployments — supporting Task Forces Military Police in Iraq — 1/12 will revert back to its primary mission and provide artillery fire support to 2nd Marine Division (Forward) during ongoing counterinsurgency operations in the province.
