Sergeant Troy Garza, squad leader, Charley Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, is currently deployed to Sangin, Afghanistan, for his second time. Garza, a native of Harlingen, Texas, first deployed to Sangin with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, during 2010. The battalion sustained more than 200 Marines wounded in action and 28 Marines killed in action, which rendered them almost combat ineffective. Garza’s mission is entirely different this time because the Afghans are now the lead element, and Charley Co. is preparing to transfer full security responsibilities to them.
