Lance Cpl. Nicholas K. Bradley, a squad automatic weapon gunner with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, and an Iraqi army soldier provide security during Operation Spring Break near the south side of Lake Tharthar in al Anbar province, May 13. While operating in the area, the Marines were able to build relationships with the locals. "The results (of the operation) were quite successful," said Maj. Jeff McCormack, the operations officer for 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1. "We found a weapons cache and established ties with the local fisherman. Some of the fisherman said they've never seen an American or hadn't seen an American since 2004. Everybody was very happy to see the Marines and Iraqi army working together. So now, we feel when we go back there, we will have some locals that we can go talk to." (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo/Lance Cpl. Adam J. Root)
