Marine Sgt. Ryan West, of Lafayette, Indiana, a squad leader with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) shouts for his Marines to take cover as sniper fire impacts around them during a fight with anti-coalition militia in central Afghanistan. During two days of heavy fighting in early June, three Marines were lightly wounded and at least 25 anti-coalition militia fighters killed. U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt. Keith A. Milks |
