    A military training exercise is taking place in an outdoor desert environment, where personnel in riot control gear are practicing detainee handling or crowd control techniques on simulated subjects on the ground. A large audience of soldiers in various camouflage uniforms surrounds the demonstration area, which is cordoned off with red-and-white barrier tape. Multiple national flags or patches are visible on uniforms, suggesting a multinational military exercise.
