    The image shows military personnel inside a helicopter, viewed from the interior looking toward the open side door. At least two soldiers in full combat gear and flight helmets are visible, with an arid, rocky landscape visible through the open door. The scene appears to depict an active military air assault or reconnaissance operation.

    U.S. Army Sgt. Brandon Coburn, a medic assigned to the Medevac Platoon Dustoff, Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 238th Aviation Regiment, Task Force Dragon, is hoisted back into a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter during a training exercise near Forward Operating Base Fenty, Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, Sept. 16, 2013. Medevac teams provided emergency care to U.S. and coalition forces, and transport patients by air to medical treatment facilities. Using a hoist allows medevac crews to raise and lower supplies and personnel into remote or treacherous areas where landing the aircraft is impossible. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
