    A military ceremony is taking place outdoors where a senior U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is pinning a medal or badge onto a younger soldier dressed in Army Service Uniform (dress uniform) with a green beret. Rows of soldiers, appearing to be from a Latin American military (likely Colombian based on the visible yellow, blue, and red flag colors in the background), stand at attention in formation. The setting suggests a joint military ceremony or award presentation.
