    Military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are operating what appears to be an M777 155mm howitzer artillery piece in an open field environment. The weapon appears to have recently been fired, as evidenced by smoke visible near the barrel and dispersing across the landscape. The scene takes place under a dramatic partly cloudy sky with mountains visible in the background.
