The 2/1 "Professionals" have begun their travel home to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif. The 1/3 "Lava Dogs" will support Regimental Combat Team 1, the Marine ground combat element in southern Helmand province. The mission of the RCT is to partner with Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgency operations to secure the Afghan people, defeat insurgent forces, and enable Afghanistan to assume security responsibilities in the region.
