Description
English: GARMSIR DISTRICT, Helmand province, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan - Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Steven Dorman cleans a local child's burn here, May 15. The native of Miami Gardens, Fla., is the senior line corpsman for Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. In addition to treating locals and 1/3 Marines, he maintains accountability of all the corpsman in the company. Dorman said the local community has limited medical resources and expertise. "They don't know how to treat certain injuries," said Dorman, "so I am happy to show them. We're here not to fight, but to help the people out. And being able to make their life better, even if it's by a little bit, is worth every effort."

The battalion supports Regimental Combat Team 1 under 2nd Marine Division (Forward), which serves as the ground combat element in Helmand. The mission of the division is to partner with Afghan National Security Forces to conduct counterinsurgency operations to secure the Afghan people, defeat insurgent forces, and enable ANSF to assume security responsibilities in the region. Ultimately, the partnered forces promote the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.
