A drop of water, a scarce commodity of the local Djiboutian's, drips from a hand-operated water pump in a remote area of Dikhil District, Oct. 24, 2009. Sailors from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 from Port Hueneme, Calif., and currently assigned to Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa drill a deep well 182 feet below the desert floor in an effort to double the current water capacity for those who travel to collect clean water for survival.
