    A military convoy of armored vehicles is traveling along a paved road through an arid desert environment, kicking up significant dust clouds. The lead vehicle appears to be a mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) type vehicle towing what looks like a route clearance or mine-detection trailer. The scene is consistent with a military route clearance operation in a desert theater.
