Following their recent assumption of security responsibility in Garmsir, the leadership of "America's Battalion" joined District Governor Mohammad 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 Lt. Col. Matthew Palma, 3/3 commanding officer. “Now, it’s up to the Afghan people to work together with their government to make the changes required to become free.”
