A Special Operations Task Force Marine launches a raven into the night’s sky for an aerial view of the area which they would be staying at over night to interrupt any Anti-Afghan forces activity on the road between Pasaw and Ranje Bala villages, Bala Baluk district, Farah province, Afghanistan April 12. The Afghan National Army and SOTF Marines chose to stay close to where a roadside bomb killed five including a woman and two young children and injured two men. ANA Soldiers and SOTF Marines were conducting a recon patrol through the area when a pressure plate roadside bomb was run over. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sergeant Nicholas Pilch)
