00:07.940 --> 00:10.570
This is a combat outpost set up among

00:10.570 --> 00:13.220
the orange groves of Safia , a small

00:13.220 --> 00:15.387
village in the Tigris River just south

00:15.387 --> 00:17.580
of Baghdad . Soldiers lived right next

00:17.580 --> 00:19.469
door to the villagers and operate

00:19.469 --> 00:21.524
closely with the Iraqi people in the

00:21.524 --> 00:23.850
area . Specialist roman is on root

00:23.850 --> 00:27.070
guard duty basically just over watching

00:27.080 --> 00:29.560
fields keeping the outpost secure . We

00:29.560 --> 00:31.690
got guys coming in from everywhere .

00:32.110 --> 00:34.590
They're always around here , can't tell

00:34.590 --> 00:36.812
the difference between the bad guys and

00:36.812 --> 00:38.979
civilians , so it's kind of hard . But

00:38.979 --> 00:41.201
that said troops guarding the street in

00:41.201 --> 00:43.257
their home . V take time to question

00:43.257 --> 00:45.257
people passing through their area .

00:45.257 --> 00:47.368
They're expecting us not to make this

00:47.368 --> 00:49.423
far so fast . I guess we're about 40

00:49.423 --> 00:51.460
days . Had a schedule despite their

00:51.460 --> 00:53.293
success here and say Afia , this

00:53.293 --> 00:55.404
platoon won't stay here forever . The

00:55.404 --> 00:57.349
unit will come to replace them and

00:57.349 --> 00:59.349
they'll move on keeping Al Qaeda in

00:59.349 --> 01:01.404
their sights . Semen Aaron Heebner ,

01:01.404 --> 01:01.960
