While each presents its own challenges. both are absolutely essential to a strong Marine Corps. Jim Jones has been simply superb in both roles. I remember encountering then Colonel Jones in northern Iraq after the first gulf war during Operation Provide Comfort. which sought to provide food and supplies to the Kurds. At one point. I accompanied him into the town of Zaku. While you would think that this would be one of the more dangerous places. with multitudes of refugees and harassing Iraqi forces. I must admit I have never felt safer as Marine helicopter gunships. Air Force A10s. and wellorchestrated groups of marines provided cover.
