    Two military personnel in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are positioned behind sandbags on a gravel berm, firing what appears to be an M32 or Mk 19 grenade launcher. A visible muzzle flash and downrange smoke indicate active firing during what appears to be a live-fire training exercise at dusk. Expended shell casings are visible on the ground to the right of the firing position.
