They wear pleated khakis and golf shirts, with a smattering of ball caps embroidered with the logos of the teams they represent. Some look like they were just playing ball last year. Others look like it’s been a while. But they all look like they’ve played, like the ball field is the only place they’ve ever really known...

Philip Downs, 23, winds quickly through garbage-strewn alleys toward Easy Street, the western edge of Golf Company's area of operations. Another platoon has shot two men who got out of a car and fired AKs at them. Downs's men periodically burst into houses and climb onto roofs for a better view of the situation.

One man pointed to bloodstains on his floor, saying insurgents had passed through moments...
