    A U.S. Marine Corps military ceremony is taking place outdoors at what appears to be a forward operating base in a desert environment during a sandstorm. A color guard is presenting the American flag and a red Marine Corps unit guidon while a formation of Marines renders a hand salute. The orange-hued atmosphere is caused by a dust or sandstorm, suggesting a Middle Eastern deployment location.
