    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage is working with what appears to be an M777 or similar towed howitzer artillery piece in an outdoor field setting. The soldier is handling artillery rounds or components near the breech area of the weapon system. The setting appears to be a training exercise based on the prepared firing position with earthen berms visible in the background.
