I think, hope once they are in place, they will do ok. It is a pretty bad area. But I am sure some Marines had stayed behind to bring their advanced group fully up on things. Surely they have similiar fire power for cordon and search and recon type patrols. I bet it is the patrol aspect tht is bugging them. Now they have to send platoons out into a new area that is known to often harvest insurgents. I wish them well.
