    Two soldiers in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern camouflage are firing a shoulder-launched rocket weapon system, producing a large backblast fireball to the left. One soldier is firing the weapon while a second soldier stands behind with one arm raised, likely serving as a safety observer or spotter. The setting appears to be an arid desert environment, consistent with a training range or operational area.
