    A large tan/desert-camouflaged military vehicle equipped with a hydraulic arm/crane attachment is actively digging or scooping sandy soil, with dirt and debris visibly flying through the air. The vehicle appears to be a multi-axle MRAP or similar heavy military utility vehicle operating in an arid, desert environment. The mechanical arm is extended downward, making contact with the ground and displacing significant amounts of earth.
