 With a country that has no TV or form of newspaper, the Marine Corps has adopted the use of leaflets to help pass important information to the almost unreachable villages of Afghanistan. The importance of the message the Marine Corps sends goes beyond the individual leaflet and starts with a process of how a leaflet is created. Once psychological operations, or SIOP, has a final design, they pass it on to combat camera. When SIOP finally decides what type of product they want to use, what type of image they want to convey, and they come up with a final design, they give it to me normally on a disc. Using that disc, Lance Corporal D'Aureo takes a single image and turns it into a 11x17 layout, complete with multiple leaflets on a single sheet of paper. After printing the first physical copy of the leaflet, the proof is held to the light to ensure that the images on both front and back are properly lined. Once confirmed, mass production begins. With 10,000 leaflets spread out over nearly 1500 sheets of paper, the printer begins its cycle. The printer is capable of printing on 80 sheets of paper a minute, and with Lance Corporal D'Aureo's layout, the printer is creating a staggering 560 leaflets every minute. That's nearly 10 3x6 inch leaflets every second. Once the area are completed printed, the customer specified that this SIOP product was to be 3 inches by 6 inches. So after it's done through the printer, I take it to the cutter and I cut it exactly to those specifications that I boxed them up and I give them to the SIOP printer. With the excess paper cut away, the nearly 1500 sheets of paper are now transformed into the final product. 10,000 individual leaflets printed, cut, and now stored in a box. These leaflets are now ready to accomplish their mission.
