    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern camouflage are operating what appears to be an M777 or M198 howitzer artillery piece in an outdoor field setting. The soldiers are actively working on the artillery system, with one crouching near the breech area and another standing nearby in a supervisory or assisting role. The setting appears to be a training exercise based on the earthen berms and open field environment.
