    Marines with Company C, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, make final gear preparations prior to executing a high altitude high opening jump at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., April 9, 2015. Several free-fall trained reconnaissance Marines conducted a HAHO jump to begin a three-day reconnaissance and surveillance patrol. The exercise was one of many the company will complete as part of a combat readiness evaluation in preparation for an upcoming deployment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Joseph Scanlan / released)

    A military service member wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniform is applying or checking face camouflage paint using a small compact mirror. The individual has green and brown camouflage face paint applied in diagonal stripes across their face. Other uniformed personnel are visible in the blurred background.
    A male military service member wearing USMC MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is shown in close-up. He has green and brown camouflage face paint applied and is wearing a tactical helmet with a night-vision device mount. He appears to be adjusting a communications headset attached to his helmet.
    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform with face paint applied is bending over to inspect or pack a large olive-drab military kit bag on a paved surface. The Marine is equipped with tactical gear including a wrist compass, tactical gloves, a backpack, and radio antenna. A second Marine in the background is also carrying equipment, suggesting a pre-mission staging or post-mission recovery activity.
    Multiple military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are preparing equipment outside a metal building. They appear to be inspecting and packing large olive-drab bags, likely parachute or dive equipment bags, on a paved surface. The scene suggests a pre-mission equipment check or staging operation.

    A group of military personnel in full combat gear, including parachute packs and tactical equipment, are walking across an airfield tarmac at dusk or dawn. The soldiers appear to be preparing for or returning from a airborne operation, carrying large camouflage-patterned parachute bags and wearing helmets with night-vision mounts. The setting appears to be a military air base with hangars and ground support equipment visible in the background.
    A night vision (NVG) image showing silhouetted figures inside what appears to be a military helicopter, likely a CH-47 Chinook based on the ramp opening visible in the background. At least three individuals are visible, with one central figure appearing to be moving toward or away from the open ramp. The image is captured through night vision optics, producing the characteristic green monochromatic appearance.
    A night vision image captured from inside a military aircraft with its rear cargo ramp open. A silhouetted figure, likely a soldier or aircrew member, stands at the edge of the open ramp looking out over a landscape with scattered lights below. The image has the characteristic green monochrome appearance of night vision optics.
    A night vision image showing what appears to be military personnel inside a vehicle or aircraft interior. The green monochromatic imagery is characteristic of night vision device (NVD) capture. Two bright green chemiluminescent light sticks (chem lights) are visible in the foreground, commonly used for identification and navigation in low-light military operations.
    A night vision image showing a person wearing military-style tactical headgear and a face covering or mask. The image is captured through night vision optics, rendering everything in characteristic green monochrome tones. The subject appears to be in a low-light or dark environment.
    This image was captured through night vision optics, producing the characteristic green monochromatic appearance. It appears to show the interior of a military aircraft with at least one person visible, looking out toward a nighttime landscape with scattered lights below. The image is significantly blurred and low resolution, making precise identification of elements difficult.
    A night vision image captured in green monochrome showing silhouetted figures, likely military personnel, observing or monitoring a scene below. Multiple small bright points of light are scattered across the field of view, possibly representing lights from a ground area viewed from an elevated or aerial position. The image appears to be taken through night vision optics, indicated by the characteristic green tint and grain.
