    Spc. Derek Freda, a native of Phoenix, Arizona, carries cinder blocks during a strongman competition at the Latvian National Guard's annual sports competition in Augstkalne, Latvia, July 19. Combined teams of paratroopers with the 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade and Latvian soldiers with the 2nd Infantry Battalion participated in competitions such as basketball, obstacle course relays, orienteering courses, marksmanship and feats-of-strength. Approximately 600 paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne are deployed throughout Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve to demonstrate commitment to NATO obligations and sustain interoperability with allied forces.

    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are sprinting toward a red-and-white tape finish line on a gravel path. Both competitors wear race bib numbers and appear to be in the final moments of a running event. The setting is a tree-lined outdoor area with a white building visible in the background.
    A muscular man in a tan military-style t-shirt is flipping a large tractor tire, visibly straining with effort. The event appears to be an outdoor strength competition or fitness challenge, with spectators watching in the background. The setting includes green trees, a white tent, and a camera tripod, suggesting an organized event.
    A young man wearing a gray t-shirt and military-style camouflage pants is exerting effort on what appears to be a competition or obstacle course apparatus, smiling broadly. He has visible tattoos on his right arm and is wearing a wrist wrap. The setting appears to be an outdoor event with tents and trees visible in the background.
    A red-haired male in U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) trousers and a tan t-shirt is low to the ground in a sandy area, appearing to be crawling or recovering from a low-crawl obstacle. The setting appears to be an outdoor military training or competition course marked with colored rope/tape and camouflage netting. Other personnel in military and civilian attire are visible in the background.
    A mixed formation of military personnel from at least two different nations is marching along a paved road in an outdoor setting with trees in the background. The group includes soldiers wearing distinct camouflage patterns — Latvian digital camouflage and US military uniforms (Army ACU and Air Force ABU patterns) — along with different headgear including black berets, maroon/red berets, and patrol caps. This appears to be a joint military exercise or ceremonial march.
    Two players are engaged in an outdoor basketball game on a paved court surrounded by trees. One player wearing a gray 'ARMY' shirt is driving with the ball while being defended by a player in a green Adidas jersey numbered 11. Two spectators are visible in the background watching the game.
    A soldier in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage pants and a tan t-shirt is running along a wooded path while carrying a military ammunition can or equipment case. Several other military personnel are visible in the background, suggesting this is a training exercise or competition event. The setting is a well-lit forested area with a dirt/grass path.
