    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is using a Garrett handheld metal detector wand to scan what appears to be a person's leg and boot area. The soldier is wearing white latex gloves and has a 'M.A.' (Military Assistant) patch visible on the right shoulder. An American flag is displayed on the wall in the background, suggesting this is taking place inside a military facility.

    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) is carefully ironing an American flag on a flat surface while wearing white gloves. The soldier's name tape reads 'WHEATLEY' and the uniform displays 'U.S. ARMY' tape along with rank insignia. A large American flag is mounted on the wall in the background, and a metal shelving unit with irons is visible to the left.
    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are folding or unfolding an American flag inside what appears to be a military facility or dining facility. The soldier in the foreground is a female with her hair in a bun, wearing a patch indicating Third Army (ARCENT) affiliation. The activity appears to be a formal flag-handling procedure.
