    Military personnel in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are engaged in construction work in an arid desert environment. The foreground soldier is operating a DeWalt miter saw to cut lumber, while two other soldiers work in the background on what appears to be a wooden platform or foundation. The setting suggests a forward operating base or military camp construction project.

    Tech. Sgt. Joshua Benauro, 732nd Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron heating, ventalation, air-conditioning systems non-commissioned officer-in-charge, cuts wood in preparation for construction of a 20-foot by 40-foot Southwest Asia hut in Diyala province, recently. The 732nd ECES Construction Team 6 has assisted in closing down three forward-operating bases so far in the Diyala and Salah ad Din provinces. The team supports the Army by disconnecting their assets in order to be redistributed to other locations in Iraq, or in some cases, Afghanistan as part of the U.S.-Iraqi Security Agreement signed in November 2008, which states service members are to withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30. A native of Waipahu, Hawaii, Benauro is deployed here from Kadena Air Base, Japan.

    A U.S. Army soldier in combat uniform and helmet is engaged in construction work, measuring wooden framing members with a tape measure. The soldier is wearing tactical gloves and sunglasses while working on what appears to be a wooden structure frame. This appears to be a military engineering or construction project, likely a humanitarian or forward operating base building effort.
    Military personnel in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are engaged in construction work in an arid desert environment. The foreground soldier is operating a DeWalt miter saw to cut lumber, while two other soldiers work in the background on what appears to be a wooden platform or foundation. The setting suggests a forward operating base or military camp construction project.
    Military personnel in desert terrain are constructing a wooden structure using plywood panels and lumber framing. Four individuals wearing military uniforms and helmets are engaged in various stages of the build, including working at height on a ladder and atop the structure. The arid, flat landscape and equipment suggest a forward operating base or field construction project.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are engaged in construction work, raising and securing wooden roof trusses on a building frame. At least four soldiers are visible, working collaboratively to hold up and fasten the structural components overhead. The setting appears to be an active construction site with plywood flooring, ladders, and power tools visible.
    A large group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms and colored hard hats are working along a HESCO barrier wall in what appears to be a forward operating base or construction site in an arid environment. The workers are lined up in a chain-gang formation, passing or handling hoses and equipment along the length of the fortification wall. Dust and haze are visible, suggesting active construction or filling operations in hot, dry conditions.
    Three workers, at least two in military uniforms (US Army ACU pattern and tan t-shirt/combat trousers), are working on a concrete foundation construction site. They are preparing a reinforced concrete slab with rebar grid laid over what appears to be gravel or crushed stone base. The setting appears to be a military base or forward operating base in an arid environment.
    A group of military personnel in a desert environment are actively pouring and spreading fresh concrete into a reinforced form using yellow-handled screed tools. The setting appears to be a forward operating base or military construction site, with concrete barriers, construction materials, and heavy equipment visible in the background. Several workers are actively engaged while others observe from the periphery.
    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is crouched down smoothing freshly poured concrete along a form edge at a construction site. Additional personnel in military uniforms are visible in the background near construction equipment. The setting appears to be an arid, desert environment consistent with a forward operating base or military installation.
    A group of approximately 20-30 soldiers in US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern camouflage are gathered in a briefing formation in a desert environment. They are assembled around a standing briefing board, with multiple MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles visible in the background. The setting appears to be a forward operating base or staging area in a Middle Eastern theater of operations.
    A military convoy of desert-tan painted heavy trucks is traveling along a paved road lined with street lamps in what appears to be a Middle Eastern environment. The lead vehicle is a large military tractor-trailer (appears to be an M1000 Heavy Equipment Transporter or similar) carrying heavy equipment, marked 'AF 281' on the bumper. Additional military vehicles follow behind in convoy formation.
    The image shows a military convoy of Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles staged on a dusty, gravel surface in what appears to be a desert environment. The lead vehicle bears the number '0579' and is equipped with communications antennas, a turret, and large run-flat tires. At least three to four armored vehicles are visible in the convoy line.
