Summary

[edit]
Description
English: U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Matthew J. Palma and Sgt. Maj. Andrew Cece, the commanding officer and sergeant major of 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, attach an Operation Enduring Freedom battle streamer to the battalion battle colors during a relief in place and transfer of authority ceremony here, Nov. 17. Though “America’s Battalion” has been operating in Garmsir for two weeks, the ceremony marked the official turnover of the area of operations between the two battalions. During their deployment, the 1/3 “Lava Dogs” focused on preparing the Afghan National Security Forces to take on a greater role in counterinsurgency operations. The Marines and sailors of 3/3 will continue to mentor ANSF as they progress toward taking lead security responsibility in the district. “We are winning this war,” District Governor Mohammad Fahim said. “I’m optimistic that with the help of the 3/3 Marines, we’ll have peace and stability in Garmsir forever.”
