    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are examining a mortar system in an arid, desert training environment. One soldier wearing a helmet and protective goggles is handling the weapon system while the other, wearing a boonie hat and sunglasses, observes. The setting appears to be a military training exercise based on the open desert terrain and equipment handling posture.

    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are operating what appears to be a missile tracking training system in an arid outdoor environment. The device held by the foreground soldier is labeled 'TRACKING TRAINER,' indicating this is a training exercise rather than a live combat situation. A wooden elevated structure and a red vehicle are visible in the background.
    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms (MARPAT pattern consistent with US Marines) are operating what appears to be an M224 60mm mortar system in an arid desert training environment.

The setting features rocky desert terrain with sparse vegetation and reddish mountains in the background.
    A military service member in desert camouflage uniform is firing a shoulder-launched missile system from an elevated concrete position in an arid desert training environment. A missile is visibly in flight just after launch, with a second projectile also visible in the air. The setting appears to be a live-fire training exercise at a desert military range.
