BATTALION 508TH IN PAKTIKA PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN, 2007
Follow That Trail dust trail, that is. Hard to lose sight of a moving
vehicle in this terrain
Grasslands Are Less Dusty and a welcome relief for those riding in trail
Objective In Sight across what may be a poppy field, a hillside home is tough
to spot as it is made of local mud brick and blends in well
Automatic Weapons are out while passing through potential ambush points
Nice View, But ... Members of the 1/508 cast a wary eye on the surroundings
On The Job
men dismount, M-16s at the ready
Anybody Home? a patrol checks out one of the many caves pocking the
hillsides
Captive Check an area native is examined for contraband.
