    A military service member in camouflage uniform and helmet is using a lensatic compass while positioned among rocky terrain in a mountainous environment.

The background shows a scenic mountain valley with conifer trees, shrubs, and clear blue skies.

    Lance Cpl. Andrew M. Lewis, a squad automatic weapon gunner with 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, uses a field compass to determine his location and fields of fire in the defensive position his Platoon is in during the company training segment of Exercise Mountain Warrior 06-10 at Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center Bridgeport, July 22. The goal is to coordinate a 360-degree perimeter where possible every angle can be covered by a Marine with a weapon aimed downrange.

    A close-up image showing gloved hands working with a dark braided rope or cord, tied in a knot. The individual is wearing USMC MARPAT (Marine Pattern) woodland digital camouflage uniform with 'MARINES' visible on a name tape. Olive drab knit gloves are worn on both hands.
    Two U.S. Marines are engaged in a rappelling or climbing training exercise in an outdoor, forested environment. One Marine wearing a red safety helmet and desert MARPAT uniform is checking or adjusting the harness and rigging equipment of a second Marine in woodland MARPAT uniform and combat helmet. The setting appears to be a rocky elevated area with pine trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background.
    A person wearing camouflage military-style clothing is holding two cable connectors close together, appearing to connect or demonstrate a BNC-type coaxial connector junction. The foreground is in sharp focus showing the connectors and hands, while the person's face is blurred in the background. The setting appears to be outdoors in a wooded or field environment.
    Two military personnel are silhouetted against a mountainous landscape with snow-capped peaks and a clear blue sky. They appear to be in a tactical consultation, with one using optics or a radio device. The image is taken during daylight hours in what appears to be a high-altitude training or operational environment.
