Sgt. Charles H. Mitchell IV, Marine Corps Community Services specialist with Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), fills a bag with merchandise purchased by a Marine of 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment during a Warrior Express Services Team mission in northern Helmand Province, July 16-30. Mitchell, 33, from Carlsbad, Calif., believes that the services he provides to the service members boost their morale. ‘You show up and it’s kind of like being Santa Claus,’ he said. These service members were excited to see the mobile Post Exchange and disbursing Marines come to their area of operation.
