U.S. Marines carry a member of their unit, who was wounded minutes earlier in a rocket-propelled grenade attack, to a U.S. Army Task Force Pegasus Black Hawk medevac helicopter, in Marjah, Helmand province, southern Afghanistan, Saturday Feb. 13, 2010. Pegasus aero-medical crews are supporting U.S. Marines and Afghan soldiers, who stormed the Taliban stronghold of Marjah on Saturday, as a major offensive began to break the extremists’ grip over a wide area of their southern heartland and re- establish government control.
