The sun sets on the post as U.S. Marines and Afghan soldiers wrap up another successful day. The area in and around the post was once riddled with insurgents, but after only a few days of close combat, the Marines 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, and Afghan National Army soldiers pushed through and crushed the enemy’s hold on the area. The service members are currently engaged in Operation Eastern Storm to eliminate the insurgent grasp that once terrorized local citizens.
