Marines with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), fortify the perimeter of a combat outpost in Marjah, Afghanistan, Aug. 16. Marines constructed a perimeter, established an entry control point and built guard towers for the COP that will be used as a police sub-station by members of the Afghan National Police. The new outpost will give the Afghan policemen an area of their own to conduct security operations independent from coalition forces.::r::::n::
