    Three U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are conducting pre-flight or maintenance checks on what appears to be an RQ-7 Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted on a launch rail/catapult system. The scene takes place at a forward operating base in an arid desert environment. All personnel are wearing hearing protection headsets, suggesting engine testing or launch preparation is underway.
