U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Justin J. Shemanski/Released 111122-M-0000S-000.jpg
Nov 22, 2011
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.
