    A group of military personnel in combat helmets and camouflage uniforms are staged inside what appears to be a large military transport aircraft or ship hold, illuminated by green lighting. The soldiers are equipped with glowing green and red chemical light sticks (chemlights) attached to their gear, which are commonly used for identification during night operations. The image captures a pre-mission or insertion staging scenario under low-light red/green operational lighting conditions.
    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms and boonie hats are traveling at high speed in a black inflatable rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) across open water. The image was taken at dusk or dawn, with a pale pink and grey sky visible in the background. Motion blur indicates the boat is moving rapidly, creating a wake and spray.
    Military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms and life vests are conducting a maritime training exercise at dusk or dawn. A foreground figure observes multiple groups of personnel riding in rubber inflatable boats (CRRCs) through ocean surf. The pastel sky and wave conditions suggest an amphibious insertion or surf passage drill.
    Multiple military personnel in combat/tactical gear are riding in inflatable rubber assault boats (IBS/CRRC) across open ocean water. At least two boats are visible in the foreground with additional boats visible in the background, suggesting a coordinated amphibious operation or training exercise. The personnel are wearing camouflage uniforms and tactical equipment consistent with military amphibious operations.
    A group of military personnel, appearing to be U.S. Marines based on their distinctive MARPAT camouflage uniforms, are riding in a black inflatable combat rubber raiding craft (CRRC) on open water. The personnel are wearing green life vests, boonie hats, and have camouflage face paint applied, suggesting a tactical maritime operation or training exercise. The boat is powered by an Evinrude outboard motor and equipped with a radio antenna.
    A group of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are handling a black inflatable rubber raiding craft (IBS - Inflatable Boat Small) on a beach shoreline. The soldiers appear to be conducting an amphibious training exercise, either launching or recovering the watercraft from the surf. Several personnel are wearing life vests and tactical gear while working together to maneuver the boat.
