Here, a marine with 3rd platoon, Golf Company, 2nd battallion, 6th marines, patrols the streets of Fallujah, Iraq, in support of the the current "Alljah" project", on June 13, 2007. The "Alljah" security project is an attempt to cordon off selected neighborhoods throughout Fallujah and convert a building into an Iraqi Police headquarters with an Iraqi Army presence. The Marines from G-Company are daily patrolling the streets of Fallujah, maintaining a high profile, and from time to time engaging in firefights. Fallujah, once the hot bed of insurgent and Al-Queda activity, is still a dangerous area, yet, street by street, a fragile security is implemented.
