    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT camouflage uniform is conducting a training or briefing session in a wooden-walled classroom setting. He stands at the front near a chalkboard, gesturing with his fist raised, addressing a group of seated soldiers wearing various camouflage uniforms. The setting appears to be a military training exercise, likely involving partner nation forces.
    A military training or briefing session is taking place inside a wooden-walled room. Two personnel in US Marine Corps digital camouflage uniforms stand at the front alongside a soldier in a different camouflage pattern, addressing a group of seated soldiers. A hand-drawn map or tactical diagram is posted on the wall beside a chalkboard.
    A military training or instruction session is taking place inside a rustic wooden open-air structure with a corrugated metal roof. Multiple soldiers in camouflage uniforms are seated on wooden benches facing a blackboard at the front of the room, where two instructors — one in military uniform and one in civilian clothing — appear to be conducting a lesson. The setting appears to be in a tropical or sub-Saharan African environment based on the vegetation visible through the open walls.
