View from rear of a marine approaching a thatched roofed dwelling, where he joins other marines. Some weapons are seen on the ground. They gather at a low entrance to the house where another marine is searching inside. He comes out carrying an automatic pistol that he hands to another marine. The marines search other houses in the small cluster of homes. Several marines gather outside the huts. One speaks on a PRC-25 radio. They begin moving away from the area. In a different area, a marine pulls a cover off a hole in the ground which conceals an entry to a tunnel. He slowly crawls into it. He passes a large roll of paper, covered with plastic, to a marine standing outside the tunnel entrance. As he emerges from the tunnel he passes an orange-colored object to the marine outside.
