Lance Cpl. Marcus Sapp, of Rockford, Mich., completes work on a hygiene facility during the construction of Patrol Base New Jersey, Afghanistan, Nov. 23. Sapp is a combat engineer with Combat Logistics Company 6, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward). The CLC, which is comprised of two engineer platoons and one motor transportation platoon, is an element of Combat Logistics Battalion 6 and was formed to provide direct support to 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, during Operation Eastern Storm. Engineers were tasked with building several of the patrol bases along Route 611. Once force protection measures were in place, such berms and concertina wire, the Marines then built comfort items that included benches, hygiene facilities and gym equipment for the infantrymen operating from the bases.

Little more than two months ago, the region through which Route 611 traced north through Helmand province was a dangerous one, at best, and saw little commercial activity. As seen through the windshield of a "7-ton" Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement truck, Nov. 22, near-ghost towns are teeming with life once again as a result of Operation Eastern Storm. The major offensive, led by the 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, aimed to drive the Taliban-led insurgency from the region, while also reestablishing a sense of order among the local populace.
