    Lt. Omar Falah Hassan, platoon leader, 1st Squadron, 52nd Brigade, Iraqi army, talks with locals who had ducked into a side canal when they saw the boats of Riverine Squadron 3 approaching. Working directly with the Iraqi authorities during actual operations simplifies communication for the Riverines and allows the Iraqi forces to take a front-seat role.

    A silhouetted armed military or security personnel is positioned on a watercraft, facing outward over a calm body of water. The scene appears to be taken during early morning or late afternoon given the low sun angle and glare on the water. Several vessels are faintly visible in the distant background near what appears to be a shoreline or bridge structure.

    A sunset or sunrise scene over a calm, reflective body of water. In the foreground, a person wearing a tactical/military-style backpack is visible from behind, observing a traditional wooden boat in the middle distance with at least two individuals near it. The still water creates clear mirror-like reflections of the figures and the sun.
    Two soldiers in desert camouflage uniforms and tactical gear are standing on a dock or embankment, interacting with a civilian man seated in a small flat-bottomed metal boat. The boat contains various sacks, bags, and loose items, suggesting it may be a fishing or cargo vessel.
