Current Conditions
In addition to providing basic security, Coalition forces, especially US Marines, have recently focused on providing other aid to residents of Rutbah. This aid comes in a variety of forms, including food and water, as well as agricultural and educational needs. The forces are also addressing infrastructure elements, such as repairing electrical power grids. These efforts are designed to help citizens of the town to complete the transition away from reliance on Coalition forces.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or conditions:
“I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
“Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
