Some 4,000 U.S. Marines and several hundred Afghan forces are taking up positions in southern Afghanistan's Helmand Province, a remote militant stronghold that has largely resisted central government control. In eastern Afghanistan, U.S. officials say the military is using all available resources to find an American soldier believed to have been captured by militants in Paktika Province on Tuesday.
