    A nighttime military field operation showing soldiers in prone position on open grassland, illuminated by a bright full moon. Three soldiers in camouflage gear are lying in the grass, with at least one operating what appears to be a belt-fed machine gun. Distant lights are visible on the horizon, suggesting a settlement or base in the background.

    Students from the Infantry Officer Course (IOC) at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., completed a "Proof-of-Concept" 1,100 mile, long-range operation from Twentynine Palms, Calif., to Fort Hood, Texas, via MV-22 Ospreys, on Dec. 15, 2013. The Marines fast-roped into a mock city to secure the embassy and rescue key U.S. personnel. The Marine Corps is the only military branch with the proven capability to missions of this magnitude, whether for humanitarian, rescue, combat operations or other special-forces type missions.

    A nighttime photograph showing multiple silhouetted military personnel in full tactical gear against a star-filled sky with a bright full moon. The figures are backlit by moonlight, rendering them largely in silhouette while revealing helmet-mounted devices and radio antennas. The scene appears to depict a nighttime military operation or training exercise.
    A long-exposure night photograph showing a soldier in full combat gear raising their arm while concentric green light rings spiral above them against a star-filled dark blue sky. The green circles are created by light painting technique, likely using a chemlight or laser pointer swung in circular motions during a long camera exposure. Sparse vegetation is visible in the lower foreground.
    A night photograph of a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft on the ground with its rotors spinning, captured with a long exposure that creates a glowing green arc from the rotor blade lights. The tail number '8016' and side code '06R' are visible on the aircraft's tail section, along with a unit insignia. Personnel with gear are visible boarding or disembarking near the rear ramp of the aircraft.
    A tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is photographed on the ground at night with its rotors spinning, as evidenced by the motion blur and illuminated navigation lights. The aircraft sits in an open grassy field under a clear, star-filled night sky, with city lights visible on the horizon in the background. The long-exposure photograph captures the green (port/left) and red (starboard/right) navigation lights streaking across the rotor arcs.
