Fox - Rick's back on. Walking through neighborhoods in the East of the city with about 200 Marines. sniper fire this morning. 9 medivaced yesterday in another company from snipers. Now walking past homes under construction. 3 AAA emplacements to one side. Searching homes for snipers. Fuel tanker in front of them. Explosions in the distance. His group has not been shot at yet. Battalion is very fanned out. Could hear artillery fire from behind them and hit in front of them. Some armor behind them, but alot of infantry walking up front.
