KAJAKI, Afghanistan – Camped out aboard Outpost Athens West, Lance Cpl. Kevin Sullivan, an artilleryman with India Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 2, peers through his newly acquired Nokia “Big Eye” binoculars. Seeing over one of the highest points in Kajaki, the binoculars, capable of 120 power magnification, will help Marines at OP Athens West see what is going on below. “They will be able to see the action in our [area of operations] with greater clarity giving them the ability to get positive identification at greater ranges,” said Capt. Thomas Kearns, executive officer of India Battery, 3rd Bn., 12th Marines.
