    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are walking across what appears to be a dry lakebed or desert airstrip at sunset or sunrise. Both are carrying brightly colored orange and pink marker panels or signal equipment, and are equipped with tactical radios and communications gear. A large military turboprop aircraft, consistent with a C-2 Greyhound or similar transport, is visible in the background.
