    A person wearing military camouflage clothing and a white climbing helmet with a mounted action camera is ascending a rock climbing wall. They are using a blue quickdraw/carabiner attached to a bolt on the wall, with a red rope visible on the left side. The climbing surface appears to be an artificial or natural stone wall with bolt holes and a few colored holds.

    A Dutch Marine with the 32nd Raiding Company utilizes a rock climbing cam, which provides a firm place to grip while scaling a rock face when no other option is available, during an urban climbing training event aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 9, 2015. The Dutch Marines spent the day learning and honing their urban climbing skills, utilizing different tools and techniques needed to efficiently and quickly scale brick walls, shipping containers and rock faces. When it came to climbing the rock wall, a rock climbing cam was used to aid in climbing a rock face with a vertical crack in it. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Justin T Updegraff/Released)

The decoy/handler is in camouflage pants and a green shirt, bracing against the dog's attack. A large group of uniformed military personnel in camouflage uniforms and black caps observe the demonstration in the background.
    A military working dog handler in MARPAT camouflage uniform is working with a Belgian Malinois during what appears to be a bite/apprehension training exercise on a grassy field.

The setting appears to be a military installation with brick barracks buildings visible in the background.
    A U.S. Marine in woodland MARPAT camouflage uniform holds a military working dog on a leash during what appears to be a K9 training exercise. A decoy wearing a padded bite suit is running away in the foreground, simulating a fleeing suspect scenario. The exercise is taking place on a grassy field adjacent to a brick building.
    Two soldiers in camouflage uniforms and helmets are engaged in what appears to be a military training exercise near a building structure.

    A military rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) is moving at high speed through shallow coastal waters, generating significant spray and wake. Multiple personnel in helmets and tactical gear are visible aboard the vessel, which appears to be equipped with a mounted weapon system. The image is backlit with strong contrast, silhouetting the crew and craft against a treeline and hazy sky.
    A soldier in camouflage uniform and black helmet is operating a mounted machine gun, with spent brass casings visibly ejecting mid-air.
