    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are working at what appears to be an excavated trench or pit in an arid desert environment. One soldier is crouched on the elevated edge of the trench operating a laptop and electronic equipment, while a second soldier stands inside or beside the trench holding a long pole or rod. The setting is a flat, barren desert landscape consistent with Middle Eastern terrain.

    The 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment's Cpl. Tavares Taylor lowers a reconnaissance robot into an 80-foot karez as Markbot operator Cpl. Garrett Andrews guides it with the remote controller Sept. 23, 2009. The Marines were investigating tunnels in the district's karez system - a network of wells and tunnels hundreds of years old - that are suspected to have been used by insurgents as caches for IED making materials.

    Two armed military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are examining a large pit or excavated hole in an arid desert environment. One soldier stands at ground level looking down into the pit while a second soldier is positioned at the edge of the pit at a lower level. A tan military armored vehicle (MRAP-type) is visible in the background.
    A soldier in desert camouflage uniform and helmet is standing in a narrow earthen trench or excavated area, leaning over to inspect or manipulate a dark-colored object at the bottom. The setting appears to be an arid, sandy environment with mud-brick or earthen walls visible. The activity suggests an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), search, or training operation.
    Three military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are gathered around equipment on rocky ground in an arid, open terrain environment. Two soldiers are crouched or bent over examining what appears to be electronic/communication equipment and a weapon, while a third stands and uses a radio handset. A fourth figure is visible in the distant background walking away.
