AR RAMADI, Iraq (April 8, 2005) -- An up-armored Humvee travels down a
road near the city’s marketplace. Two Marines with 1st Squad, 4th
Platoon, Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, walk alongside
the vehicle while patrolling the area. Marines with 4th Platoon,
Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, patrolled the marketplace in an
effort to familiarize themselves with their area of operations and
determine how the local Iraqis feel about their presence in the area.
The Marines also handed out positive and anti-insurgent propaganda to
the Iraqis and searched for insurgents and things out of the ordinary
during the two-hour operation. Photo by Cpl. Tom Sloan
