Regimental Combat Team 7 Clears Way for RCT-1

摘要

Where there was once only sand, gravel and a film of dust in the desert air, the Regimental Combat Team 7 commanding officer spoke about a brighter future for Afghanistan. Speaking outside the Command Operations Center that didn't exist a year ago, Col. Randall Newman recounted his team's success in central Helmand province. He praised his Marines, seldom referred to himself and often seemed apologetic when doing so. Clearly, the heavy burden of responsibility is a ghost thai lingers even as the mantle of responsibility is being passed.
