Bridge over the wadi Musa Qala
US Marines patrol across the Musa Qala Wadi crossing in Helmand province, Afghanistan, Dec. 6, 2011. During a July 2010 embed in Musa Qala, this reporter heard many complaints from Afghan civilians who were skeptical about American promises to build a permanent structure across the riverbed; at the time, Marines had created a temporary crossing with sandbags and dirt.
