    The image shows a group of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms conducting what appears to be a tactical training exercise at a mock urban environment. Soldiers are stacked against a wall preparing to make entry through a gate or doorway, a common close-quarters battle (CQB) drill. The setting appears to be a purpose-built training facility with constructed walls and structures simulating an urban compound.

The $140 million urban warfare training facility consists of more than 1,000 buildings and is divided into four sectors.
