Operation River Liberty in Helmand Province Afghanistan began with the biggest Helo-borne assault since the Vietnam War. Elements of the 2nd Bn 8th Marines and 1st Bn 5th Marines boarded CH53s in the early morning hours of 2 July 2009 to insert into key locations in the Helmand River Valley, providing security to the local population and denying the Taliban access to the battlespace.
