    A civilian in a blue shirt is pinning a medal or decoration onto a US Army soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform during what appears to be a military awards ceremony at a forward operating base. A US Marine in MARPAT desert camouflage uniform observes the ceremony. The setting appears to be an outdoor military installation, likely in Afghanistan based on the ISAF patch visible on the soldier's uniform.
