Cpl. Joseph J. Laflamme, from York, Maine, a water support specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward) conducts a field expedient test to check the chloride level in the water July 28, 2011, aboard Forward Operating Base Musa Qala, Helmand province, Afghanistan. Water support technicians are using two tactical water purification systems to supply purified water and therefore reduce the need of convoy and helicopter resupply missions. Since the TWPSs arrived to the base, the Marines have pumped, purified and delivered more than 100,000 gallons of water for the Marines and sailors with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division (Fwd.) as well as other units operating in the area.
