New video: 1/5 Marines on patrol in Afghanistan

2

The Marine Corps just posted a new video online of forces with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, Calif., conducting a reconnaissance patrol in Sangin, Afghanistan, late last month. If you’re looking to see what conditions on the ground look like, this could help:

The video gives us a good look at the canals, poppy fields and rocky terrain Marines are working with in Sangin. Nothing dramatic happened, but sometimes, that’s for the best.

Share.
