US Marine Corps, AL TAQADDUM, Iraq: Coalition forces are combating insurgents throughout the Al Anbar province with air power not often seen or heard. Enemy forces can no longer use the terrain to their advantage thanks to the eyes in the sky providing intelligence and reconnaissance to ground forces.
The Pioneer, operated by Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2, is one of two UAV platforms that provide intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance support to commanders on the ground.
