    Petty Officer 2nd Class Conrad P. Hass fires a M240 machine gun mounted in an MH-60S Seahawk at simulated enemy personnel during a live-fire, close-air support training Dec. 10 Farallon de Medinilla Target Range, Northern Mariana Islands. The MH-60Ss are currently forward deployed to the island of Tinian, coordinating with Marine Corps units during a simulated surge operation as part of exercise Forager Fury II. FF II is an aviation training relocation event intended to meet U.S.-Japan bilateral goals such as reduced local impacts by dispersing the training to other areas and increased operational readiness. Hass is a naval aircrewman with Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 based out of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Joseph Karwick)

    A U.S. military personnel in olive green flight suit is working on or inspecting a mounted machine gun on what appears to be a military helicopter. The soldier wears a U.S. flag patch on his left shoulder and a tactical watch, and appears to be loading or maintaining the weapon system. The photo is taken from a low angle with a blue sky and rotor blade visible in the background.
    A silhouetted figure wearing a helmet is positioned behind a belt-fed machine gun, likely aboard a naval vessel over open water. The image is a dramatic backlit shot with the sun visible through clouds in the background. The strong contrast between the dark foreground silhouette and the bright sky creates a high-contrast composition.
    The image is taken from inside a military helicopter looking out through an open door at another helicopter hovering over open ocean. A crew member in a flight helmet is visible in silhouette on the left, with a mounted weapon system (likely an M134 minigun or similar door gun) in the foreground. The scene is strongly backlit by the sun, creating dramatic silhouettes against a partly cloudy sky and reflective ocean surface.
    A military aircrew member is firing a door-mounted machine gun from a helicopter over a coastal, vegetated terrain.
