 The Musa Kayla Wadi crossing built by the sailors with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 under the command of 2nd Battalion 4th Marine Regiment was open to the public December 9th. The district government did a lot to help complete this project. They worked to explain what was going on to the people, to create the feeling that the time was right here, the conditions were correct and they also had a major hand in sending the messages to the people to help protect it. Government officials throughout Helmand Province met with several Marine Commanders from Regional Command Southwest to conduct the opening ceremony. The bridge itself is part of a long, larger effort with Jiroa and ISAF forces to be able to connect the district of Musa Kayla with Garex.
