    Several U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern uniforms are loading ammunition into what appears to be a military helicopter, likely an AH-64 Apache, on a flight line in an arid environment. The soldiers are handling a belt of 30mm rounds, consistent with the M230 chain gun used on Apache helicopters. The setting and uniforms suggest a forward operating base in a desert region.
