A forklift operator places a shipping container onto a Combat Logistics Battalion 4, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), truck, April 28, 2012. Marines loaded thousands of pounds of gear, from miscellaneous supplies to vehicles, onto 32 trucks for the two-hour combat logistics patrol back to Camp Leatherneck. Marines say this process of retrograding gear and closing the base is a sign that the transition of security responsibilities to Afghan National Security Forces in southwest Afghanistan is occurring.
