it's an early morning in Kajaki Afghanistan
a platoon of Marines with 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment are awakened by the sound of mortars
impacting their position near the Helmand River
Patrol Base Georgetown
Without time to fully dress, the Marines rush out to engage the enemy.
"Everyone throws gear on and runs out, we
get our positions established, and the squad leaders take control."
"It gets out of nowhere. I'm in a sleeping bag still
all of a sudden you hear a flare go off, RPG, then
fire just starts going off."
"Just to the northwest, across the Helmand River they have a ridge line up there
and there's caves in the ridge line that
they'll crawl into and engage us from there."
"We're the most forward unit
in the green zone
from FOB Whitehouse from the battalion
