The setting appears to be a training range or patrol environment.
    A U.S. Marine Corps Light Armored Vehicle (LAV-25) in woodland camouflage pattern is traversing a gravel/sand training road at what appears to be a military training range. At least one or two personnel in Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniforms (MCCUU) are visible in the open turret hatch. The surrounding terrain features open flat grassland, a treeline in the background, and rock berms flanking the road.
    A wheeled armored fighting vehicle, consistent with a Light Armored Vehicle (LAV-25), is positioned on a concrete firing range pad during what appears to be a live-fire exercise. Smoke is visible emanating from the vehicle's left side, and spent brass casings are scattered on the ground nearby. At least one personnel in desert camouflage uniform is visible in the open turret hatch.
