I found the photo. It is actually an Army photo from 2002 in Oruzgan Province. http://www.dodmedia.osd.mil/DVIC_View/Still_Details.cfm?SDAN=DASD041348….
I could swear that there is a nearly identical picture from when the 22d MEU was in Oruzgan in 2004, but I can't find the folder where I have all the pictures.
