U.S. Marine Sgt. Maj. William R. Frye, the 2nd Battalion,
Summary
U.S. Marine Sgt. Maj. William R. Frye, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment sergeant major (left) and Master Gunnery Sgt. John E. Trotta, the 2/6 operations chief, provide security for fellow Marines during a patrol in Trek Nawa, April 13, 2012. Together, Frye and Trotta patrol monthly and sometimes weekly with Marines throughout Helmand province's Nawa district. These visits allow them to gain hands on experience at the battalion's smaller positions, boosting the morale of the young Marines they visit in the process.
