U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Brock Wilki, with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, scans the iris of an Afghan man at an Afghan National Police checkpoint in the Nawa district of the Helmand province, Afghanistan, to register the man into a computer system database on Sept. 25, 2009. Wilki is deployed with Regimental Combat Team 3 to conduct counterinsurgency operations in partnership with the Afghan National Security Forces in southern Afghanistan. DoD photo by Lance Cpl.
