Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit arrived
Summary
Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit arrived in southern Afghanistan March 15. The 24th MEU will deploy approximately 2,400 service members under NATO's International Security Assistance Force command to conduct full-spectrum operations to capitalize on recent ISAF and Afghanistan National Security Force successes in providing a safe and secure environment for the Afghan people in which to rebuild their lives. This deployment, of approximately seven months duration, will temporarily fill a standing ISAF request for a maneuver force in southern Afghanistan.
