U.S. Marine First Lt. Taylor Williams, platoon commander for Weapons Platoon, Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, speaks with a village elder about establishing a neighborhood watch under the Interim Security Critical Infrastructure program, in Marjah, Oct. 23, 2010. “When we first came in, we took contact every day for about the first two and-a-half months. The conditions were not stable enough for a [citizen-run] security program in the northern part of our area,” said Williams, 24, from Raleigh, N.C. “Now it seems like the locals are ready to sustain their own type of police force here. The security situation has changed significantly down here.”
