    A heavily equipped military or tactical operator is silhouetted against a bright blue sky and arid desert landscape, standing in what appears to be a doorway or open hatch. The figure is rendered almost entirely in shadow, revealing only the outline of their gear and weapon. The composition is a deliberate backlit silhouette photograph taken in a desert environment.

    Sgt. Richard Stroud, a platoon sergeant, with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, talks over the radio before moving his Marines to the next building during a Military Operation in Urban Terrain, or MOUT town, training exercise at Fort Bliss, Texas, May 12, 2014. Marines with Task Force 2nd Bn., 8th Marines and soldiers with the 1st Armored Division trained side-by-side during the town clearing exercise to rid the 700 meter stretch of buildings of all enemy role-players during the Network Integration Evaluation 14.2. Although each unit had its own objective, it still mutually supported each other to accomplish the overall mission. (U.S. Marine photo by Cpl. Austin Long)
