Marines Fight Insurgents, Secure Key Intersection on Road to Marjeh

An Afghan National Army soldier fires a grenade from a launcher on his AK-47 at Taliban insurgents from Marjeh firing on their position Feb. 9 at the "Five Points" intersection. A group of ANA soldiers joined the Marines of Charlie Company as they conducted a helicopter-borne assault earlier that morning to seize the key intersection of roads linking the northern area of the insurgent stronghold of Marjeh with the rest of Helmand province.
