    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. One soldier wearing protective goggles and gloves is actively handling the mortar tube while a second observes. The setting features rocky desert terrain with sparse vegetation and reddish mountains in the background.
