Garmsir District Governor Mohammad Fahim (right) and U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Matthew Palma, a Bristol, R.I. native and commanding officer of 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, walk back to Combat Outpost Rankel after examining the construction of the new district community center here, Nov. 22. Following their recent assumption of security responsibility in Garmsir, the leadership of “America’s Battalion” joined Fahim to visit and interact with citizens throughout the district, Nov. 22 to 24. During the visits, Fahim and the Marines discussed issues like tribal unity, education, insurgent activity and the continued development of the Afghan National Army and Police. “We’re bringing governance to ungoverned places,” said Palma. “Now, it’s up to the Afghan people to work together with their government to make the changes required to become free.”
