English: Three days before Iraq's national elections, 200 Iraqi police recruits board a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter at Camp Al Qa'im, Iraq, Jan. 12, 2006, during their journey to an Iraqi Police Academy in Baghdad. Upon graduation, the recruits returned to the Al Qa'im region to work as policemen. After spending seven months of routing out insurgents and stabilizing the Al Qa'im region, located along the Euphrates River in northwestern Al Anbar Province near the Syrian border, Marines from the Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, say they're leaving the region in better shape then when they arrived last year. During the past seven months, the Marines have brought stability back to the people of western Iraq by training Iraqi Army soldiers and ridding the region of anti-Iraqi forces, thanks to an aggressive counterinsurgency campaign, which included Operation Steel Curtain last November - a major offensive to disrupt insurgent activity along the Syrian border which saw hundreds of insurgents killed or captured. "We're able to progress now with getting consistent (electrical) power, free and clean running water for all the villages up there, as well as starting to rebuild the hospitals and the schoolhouses that have suffered over the last three years," said Col. Stephen W. Davis, who commanded all Marine forces in western Al Anbar Province for the past year, during a Pentagon press briefing last month. The battalion's redeployment to the U.S. is part of a regularly scheduled rotation of forces in Al Anbar. More than 25,000 Marine and sailors of Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based I Marine Expeditionary Force are replacing the Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based II MEF. (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Jerad W.
