    U.S. Marine Cpl. Alexandra Melnick, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines of the 5th Marine Regiment, sets a parachute used during an aerial delivery of food rations on to a fire, 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.
