Corporal Nandram Shiwnath keeps on the lookout for anything suspicious as he serves as a machine gunner for 3rd Platoon, Combat Logistics Company 115 during a recent supply convoy May 17, 2006. Shiwnath, a 27-year-old native of Queens, N.Y., and the rest of the platoon took supplies to Marines serving with Iraqi Security Forces on the outskirts of Fallujah, Iraq. Since arriving in late February, the Marines have conducted more than 42 convoys, averaging one every other day. Most convoys here are supply orientated, delivering much needed food and equipment to Marine units spread throughout the region.
