    Capt. John Kolb, a forward air controller with Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, uses his radio to set up an aircraft landing zone for a simulated casualty evacuation during Exercise Clear, Hold, Build 3 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., Sept. 21, 2011. The two-day evolution — part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper training exercise — enabled “America’s Battalion” to improve its capabilities as the ground combat element of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The exercise is their final pre-deployment training event before deploying to Afghanistan’s Helmand province next month to support Operation Enduring Freedom. Kolb, 31, is from Rock Spring, Wyo.
