U.S. Army Sgt. Barry Dilley walks down a path at Combat Outpost Herrera, Afghanistan, Nov. 28, 2011. The outpost, which sits 8,700 feet above sea level and is surrounded by mountains and local villagers, received an airdrop of 18,000 lbs of fuel the preceeding day. The terrain and the high Taliban presence make it difficult for ground resupply missions. Dilley is assigned to 1st Battalion, 279th Infantry.
