    Maj. David McCombs, a staff ride action officer, Headquarters and Service Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command, shows and explains the gear sharpshooters and infantrymen would have used at the siege of Yorktown to the Marines and Sailors of MARFORCOM. Because McCombs is a Revolutionary War reenactor, he was able to dress up as a sharpshooter and show the Marines what they would have looked like, and why.

    A large group of approximately 25 people poses for a group photo in front of a large white stone monument at Yorktown, Virginia. The inscription on the monument commemorates the British surrender at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, during the American Revolutionary War. The group appears to be on a historical or educational field trip, dressed in casual civilian clothing.

    A National Park Service ranger stands beside a historic bronze cannon mounted on a wooden field carriage, positioned on a raised wooden platform. The ranger appears to be giving an interpretive talk or demonstration, resting one hand on the cannon barrel. The setting is an outdoor historical site during autumn, with bare and partially leafed trees visible in the background.
    A National Park Service ranger in uniform is conducting an outdoor tour for a group of approximately 10-12 visitors at what appears to be a Civil War-era earthwork fortification site. The ranger is standing near a curved earthen embankment lined with sharpened wooden stakes (abatis or fraise defensive obstacles). The setting appears to be a preserved battlefield or historic fort during late autumn or winter based on the dry grass and bare trees.
