Steve Toth walks across a road while on a security patrol here, July 27. Toth, a native of Spring Valley, N.Y., is a law enforcement professional with 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. Marines with 1/3 ensure security of the district by patrolling everyday with their Afghan National Army counterparts. The battalion supports Regimental Combat Team 1, under 2nd Marine Division (Forward), which serves as the ground combat element in Helmand. The mission of the division is to partner with Afghan National Security Forces to conduct counterinsurgency operations to secure the Afghan people, defeat insurgent forces, and enable ANSF to assume security responsibilities in the region. Ultimately, the partnered forces promote the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.
