In an effort to prevent further violence, as well as encourage a more positive relationship, female Marines like Cpl. Jennifer B. Holt are shedding combat- service-support roles and leaving the base to become part of the Marine Corps FST, or female search team. ?(Utilizing the FST) shows that we are trying to accommodate (the Iraqis), and make an effort to abide by their moral code,? said Holt, 25 from Clay, Ala. Holt is normally a company clerk for Engineer Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward). According to cultural studies, Iraqis don?t show affection between males and females in public. By using the FST, Marines respect these cultural differences in an effort to put the Iraqis at ease.
