Sergeant Anthony Diaz, team member with the Combat Logistics Battalion 6 Personal Security Detail, stands vigilant as Lt. Col. Mike Lepson, battalion commander, CLB-6, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), meets with a Marine from the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment during an recovery mission to the unit’s position outside of Musa Qal’eh May 22. From the frequent and relatively safe trips up the hardball to Forward Operating Base Delaram II to the long and unpredictable cross country trips to patrol bases in and around Now Zad, Marjah and Musa Qal’eh, Lepson’s safe passage through these imminent danger zones is their sole responsibility.
