    U.S. Marines help collect bundles of food rations that were airdropped to Forward Operating Base Edinburgh, the logistics hub for northern Helmand province, Oct 3, 2011. The parachutes and other packing material are collected and burned on site to reduce the debris left on the drop zone. Aerial delivery of food and water allows Marines to get some critical supplies without having to rely on risky ground convoys.
