    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are conducting a military guidon/colors transfer ceremony on an airfield tarmac. The ceremony involves the passing of a red unit guidon flag with gold fringe, consistent with a Marine Fighter Attack squadron. A third Marine stands in the background holding the staff during the exchange.

    A formation of U.S. Marines in woodland MARPAT camouflage uniforms marches in review across a tarmac or airfield, rendering a hand salute as they pass a reviewing point. Two flags are visible — the U.S. national flag and the red Marine Corps flag — carried by color bearers at the head of the formation. The setting appears to be a military airfield, likely in a mountainous region based on the terrain visible in the background.
    A military gathering appears to be taking place inside what looks like an aircraft hangar or large military facility. A Marine in MARPAT camouflage uniform is engaged in conversation with two individuals wearing olive drab flight suits. Multiple military flags and personnel are visible in the background.
