    Two amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) are navigating through surf zone waves toward a sandy beach, consistent with a military amphibious landing exercise. The vehicles are painted in olive drab/military green and appear to be USMC AAV7A1 or similar tracked amphibious personnel carriers. The image is taken from an elevated aerial perspective showing clear turquoise water, white surf, and a wide sandy beach.

    160730-N-YW024-273 MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII (July 30, 2016) U.S. Marines participate in an amphibious assault exercise during Rim of the Pacific 2016. Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationship that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Katarzyna Kobiljak)

    The image shows an aerial refueling operation in flight, with a fixed-wing tanker aircraft extending a hose-and-drogue refueling line toward two large military helicopters. One helicopter appears to be actively connected to or approaching the drogue basket, while a second helicopter flies in formation nearby. The aircraft are flying against an overcast, hazy sky.
    A large gray amphibious transport dock (LPD) warship is underway on open blue ocean waters. Several small assault craft or rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) are visible in the water surrounding the vessel, suggesting an amphibious operation or exercise is in progress. The ship features angular, stealthy superstructure design consistent with a San Antonio-class LPD.
    An amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) is traversing open ocean water while deploying a large white smoke screen. At least one crew member is visible in an open hatch position. The vehicle appears to be conducting a military amphibious training or operational exercise.
    An aerial photograph shows three amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) moving through open ocean surf toward a sandy beach shoreline. The vehicles are traveling in a staggered formation, leaving white wake trails behind them. This appears to be a military amphibious landing exercise conducted in clear, turquoise coastal waters.

    Three amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) are conducting a beach landing exercise on a sandy shoreline. The vehicles are moving along the beach in a spread formation, with smoke visible in the background suggesting recent weapons fire or smoke grenades. The setting appears to be a tropical location based on the turquoise water and lush green vegetation.
    A U.S. Marines attack helicopter is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft is a Bell AH-1Z Viper, identifiable by its tandem cockpit, stub wings, and nose-mounted gun system. The rotor blades are visibly motion-blurred, indicating active flight.
    Three amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) are navigating through open ocean waters toward a rocky shoreline. The vehicles appear to be conducting an amphibious landing exercise, moving in a loose formation through choppy turquoise surf. A rocky volcanic coastline with green vegetation is visible in the background.
    A military Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft is traveling at high speed across open ocean water, generating a white spray wake. The vessel appears to be carrying military equipment or personnel and is operating in front of dramatic, steep green mountain ridgelines consistent with the Ko'olau Range on Oahu, Hawaii. The scene suggests an amphibious military exercise or training operation.
    The image shows a U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC-40) hovercraft operating at high speed across open blue ocean water, generating a large white spray wake. In the background, a larger U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship is visible on the horizon. The scene appears to depict an amphibious operations exercise or deployment.
    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft, marked 'LCAC-40', is operating at high speed across open ocean waters, generating significant spray and wake. In the background, a large U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship (San Antonio-class) is visible on the horizon. This appears to be a naval amphibious operations exercise or transit.
