    A United States Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter is performing a sling-load operation, airlifting a tan/desert-camouflage HMMWV (Humvee) military vehicle suspended beneath it by cargo straps. The helicopter is flying low over an arid, flat terrain with sparse trees and low buildings visible in the background. This appears to be a military logistics or training operation in a desert environment.

    A CH-47F Chinook cargo helicopter from the 2nd Battalion, Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division - Baghdad, lifts a Humvee off the ground during a sling load certification training exercise at Camp Taji, March 6. The training was intended to provide Soldiers with the essential skills necessary for sling loading equipment and supplies with a Chinook, the U.S. Army's premiere heavy lift aircraft.
