00:05.843 --> 00:07.901
(dramatic tones)

00:10.103 --> 00:12.530
- [Sergeant Andrew Milner] This patrol
around the streets of FOB Marjah

00:12.530 --> 00:15.214
is like most for these
Guard Force Marines.

00:15.214 --> 00:18.168
Except it's not just Marines.

00:18.168 --> 00:20.772
The ANA now take on much
more responsibility

00:20.772 --> 00:23.127
in the southern Marjah region.

00:23.127 --> 00:27.085
A year ago they would stop,
inspect and question

00:27.085 --> 00:29.154
everyone they encountered.

00:29.154 --> 00:31.766
Now it's more secure through
the work of Afghans,

00:31.766 --> 00:35.186
(children laughing)
and these 3/6 Marines

00:35.186 --> 00:36.860
out of Camp Lejeune.

00:36.860 --> 00:38.723
- I was surprised at 
how well they learned

00:38.723 --> 00:40.495
in a year.

00:41.718 --> 00:43.949
They've actually adapted a lot of our

00:43.949 --> 00:47.259
TTPs and a lot of our tactics.

00:47.259 --> 00:50.744
- [Milner] The Marines continue
to train the ANA so that

00:50.744 --> 00:53.478
they can maintain this area's security

00:53.478 --> 00:55.030
for the long term.

00:56.708 --> 00:58.287
Marine Sergeant Andrew Milner,

00:58.287 --> 01:01.661
Forward Operating Base Marjah, Afghanistan.
