Sergeant Troy Garza, then a fire team leader with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, talks to an Afghan child during his first deployment to Sangin, Afghanistan, during 2010. During his first deployment in Sangin, the battalion sustained more than 200 Marines wounded in action and 28 Marines killed in action, which rendered them almost combat ineffective. Now Garza is deployed to Sangin again, this time as a squad leader with Charley Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, and his mission is entirely different this time. The Afghans are now the lead element, and Charley Co. is preparing to transfer full security responsibilities to them.
