    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is working on what appears to be a disassembled M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun on a tarp under a military field tent. The soldier wears a number '5' placard on his chest, indicating this is likely a timed weapons qualification or competition event. Patches visible include the 101st Airborne Division screaming eagle and an Airborne tab on the left shoulder.
