AR RUTBAH, Iraq- A Marine from Alpha Company, 4th Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) Battalion removes rubble from the top of his AAV after it was used to knock down a wall. The Marines of Regimental Combat Team 2 conduct counter-insurgency operations with Iraqi Security Forces to isolate and neutralize anti-Iraqi forces, to support the continued development of Iraqi Security Forces, and to support Iraqi reconstruction and democratic elections in order to create a secure environment that enables Iraqi self-reliance and self-governance.
