00:04.140 --> 00:06.990
today . We're out at uh come body

00:07.190 --> 00:09.301
combat outpost out here by the combat

00:09.301 --> 00:11.357
bridge without here circulating with

00:11.357 --> 00:13.640
the marines at 37 . It's important for

00:13.650 --> 00:15.872
those of us to get out here to see what

00:15.872 --> 00:18.094
our battalions are doing . So we have a

00:18.094 --> 00:20.094
better understanding of the support

00:20.094 --> 00:22.261
that we need to provide to our marines

00:22.261 --> 00:24.483
that are forward deployed . Currently ,

00:24.483 --> 00:24.430
the Marines of 3rd Battalion 7th

00:24.430 --> 00:26.750
Marines are located in the Sangin

00:26.760 --> 00:28.680
District and they're doing some

00:28.680 --> 00:30.870
remarkable work out . We had the

00:30.880 --> 00:33.047
pleasure of patrolling with one of the

00:33.047 --> 00:35.269
platoon's yesterday out in the northern

00:35.269 --> 00:37.213
Green zone area and which is truly

00:37.213 --> 00:39.324
amazed with the capabilities and what

00:39.324 --> 00:41.491
those young warriors are doing today .

00:41.491 --> 00:43.547
Today we were able to go out and see

00:43.547 --> 00:45.602
the body bridge , this local project

00:45.602 --> 00:47.602
that was put together uh to provide

00:47.602 --> 00:49.491
traffic kable areas for the local

00:49.491 --> 00:52.510
population across some of the canals .

00:52.520 --> 00:54.890
Currently , the insurgents are trying

00:54.890 --> 00:57.230
to destroy this bridge because

00:57.230 --> 00:59.452
obviously they realized by limiting the

00:59.452 --> 01:01.341
local population that will have a

01:01.341 --> 01:03.740
severe impact on the economic uh

01:03.750 --> 01:06.360
stability of the region . So uh marines

01:06.360 --> 01:08.630
here come body cop are doing a great

01:08.630 --> 01:11.410
job ensuring that the bridge remains

01:11.410 --> 01:14.120
intact and ensuring that the local

01:14.120 --> 01:16.390
population has free access over the

01:16.390 --> 01:17.560
room
