    A military staff member in camouflage uniform is hosing down several trainees/recruits with a water hose on a paved surface. The recruits are bent over or shielding their heads while being sprayed, suggesting a decontamination procedure or OC (pepper spray) wash-down training exercise. Wet gear, helmets, and what appears to be a rifle are visible on the ground nearby.
