Description
English: Several Navy corpsmen, Marine, and a Navy Chaplain tend to one of two Marines injured when the seven-ton truck they were driving carrying water overturned during a supply convoy to Camp Korean Village in western Iraq, Oct. 21, 2004. The truck's central tire inflation system malfunctioned, the shift of the thousands of gallons of water it was hauling caused the truck to move off the road and flip over, throwing the Marine manning the machine gun from the turret. Although both Marines involved in the accident suffered only minor injuries, the incident served as a reminder that anything can happen on the open roads of Iraq. The responsibility of delivering everything from food and water to mail and supplemental items, such as magazines and cigarettes, to the remote areas of western Iraq lies in the hands of the Marines of Combat Service Support Company-119. Since August, CSSC-119 Marines have logged in nearly 170,000 miles of road time and put in an average of 90 hours a week. "Marines are going out there and facing the threats that come with convoys - the heat, the distance - it's incredible," said 1st Lt. Chris J. Lefebvre, CSSC-119's executive officer.
