    U.S. Army soldiers are operating an M777 or M198 howitzer artillery piece in a snow-covered winter environment, likely Alaska based on the terrain and unit markings visible on the vehicle. Several soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern camouflage and helmets are positioned around the weapon system, which is elevated at a high angle for firing. A military truck is positioned behind the howitzer, and equipment cases are visible on the ground nearby.
