Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California

Lance Cpl. Grant A. Dorton, a 20-year-old from Concord, N.C., cleans a machinegun for a convoy to Fallujah to deliver generators and food. Truck drivers with Transportation Support Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, transport the goods, collectively driving thousands of miles on the dangerous roads of western Iraq, where insurgents often use improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, against Coalition Forces. Everyday in Iraq, the1st Marine Logistics Group sends out combat logistics patrols that leave the relative safety of the base to deliver supplies to Marines throughout the Al Anbar Province. From the Marines who order and load the supplies onto 7-ton transportation trucks, to the mechanic that keeps the trucks running ? many people play a key role to keep the supply train moving.
