    The image shows military personnel on a desert road conducting what appears to be an IED or mine detection/clearance operation. Two soldiers are on foot at the roadside, one using a long-handled tool to probe a dark spot on the road surface, while a third soldier stands in the bed of a military HMMWV (Humvee) providing overwatch. A long row of utility poles stretches into the distance across an arid, flat landscape.
    Two armed military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are positioned at the edge of a paved road in an arid, flat terrain. One soldier is kneeling while the other is standing, both appearing to examine or observe something near a damaged or disturbed section of the road surface. The surrounding landscape is dry and sparse with low scrub vegetation and distant structures visible on the horizon.
    An unexploded ordnance (UXO) has been excavated from the ground and is visible lying in a hand-dug or mechanically excavated trench. The munition appears to be a blue-grey aerial bomb with yellow markings, partially covered in soil and rust. Text visible on the casing reads 'CFB 22 FRAGMENTATION' or similar designation.
