Description
English: Marine 1st Lt. James Donovan, an engineer officer for 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, explains to Sgt. Matthew P. Ramey, 21, a heavy equipment operator with Combat Logistics Battalion-2, a plan for creating an 8-foot dirt berm around Ar Rutbah, Iraq, Jan. 19, 2006. The Marines spent nearly three weeks building the 12-kilometer berm - a tool Marines and Iraqi Security Forces are using to curb insurgent and criminal activity that has gripped this remote western Iraqi city of 25,000. Now, insurgents can't freely travel in and out of the city, which has been a breeding ground for smugglers and foreign fighters making their way into Iraq for years, according to Col. Stephen Davis, commander for Regimental Combat Team-2. "We now have an exclusive walled compound down there (Rutbah), with three entry control checkpoints, that's been getting rave reviews from the population down there," Davis told reporters during a Pentagon press briefing Feb. 11 at the Marines' camp at Fallujah. "(It's) one more step in making western Al Anbar a prohibitive environment for the insurgents and terrorists to operate in." Donovan is a 29-year-old native of East Point, Ga. Ramey is a 21-year-old native of Sacramento, Calif.
