    A thermal image of a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle gunnery crew moves onto the firing lane during a night live-fire gunnery qualification at the Operation Cold Steel exercise conducted at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Mar. 20, 2017. Operation Cold Steel is the U.S. Army Reserve’s first large-scale live-fire training and crew-served weapons qualification and validation exercise. Cold Steel plays a critical role in ensuring that America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short-notice and bring combat-ready and lethal firepower in support of the Total Army and Joint Force partners anywhere in the world. In support of the Total Army Force, First Army Master Gunners participated in Cold Steel to provide expertise in crew level gunnery qualifications, and to develop Vehicle Crew Evaluator training, preparing units here and when they return to their home stations to conduct crew served weapons training and vehicle crew gunnery at the unit-level. 475 crews with an estimated 1,600 Army Reserve Soldiers will certify in M2, M19 and M240 Bravo gunner platforms across 12-day rotations through the seven-week exercise.

    The image shows stacked military ammunition crates in the foreground, labeled with 7.62mm cartridge markings (M80, M62, M13 LINK), alongside USA/DOD markings. A tan military HMMWV (Humvee) is visible in the background with a soldier positioned in the turret hatch. The setting appears to be a military installation or staging area with bare trees visible in the background.
    A black-and-white photograph showing a group of military personnel seated together, wearing a mix of combat uniforms, body armor, helmets, and cold-weather gear. The soldiers appear to be attending a briefing, ceremony, or formation event. At least one name tape reading 'MINEZ' is partially visible on a soldier's uniform.
    A military briefing or instruction session is taking place outdoors near a concrete block building. A soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform addresses a group of soldiers seated on bleachers wearing ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern uniforms. The setting appears to be a training facility during cold weather conditions, evidenced by winter gear and bare trees in the background.
    A nighttime military convoy or staging area showing multiple military vehicles illuminated by artificial lighting. At least three military vehicles are visible, including what appears to be a LMTV (Light Medium Tactical Vehicle) with a canvas cover and two HMMWVs (Humvees), with red marker lights active. A soldier is visible in an elevated position on the larger truck, and the vehicles appear to be positioned near a road or training range.
    A nighttime military scene showing silhouetted personnel gathered around tactical vehicles, likely at a forward operating base or checkpoint. The scene is dramatically lit by artificial lighting, casting strong shadows and creating high-contrast silhouettes. A medical vehicle marked with a red cross is visible on the left side of the frame.
    A thermal/infrared night-vision image showing a vehicle on an open terrain or road intersection. The vehicle appears brightly lit in the thermal spectrum, indicating significant heat emission, likely from an engine. The surrounding landscape is flat with scattered structures visible in the background.
    Two tan/desert-colored military HMMWVs (Humvees) are parked side by side at night under a clear, star-filled sky. At least one soldier is visible standing in the turret hatch of the left vehicle, which appears to be equipped with a mounted weapon. The vehicles are illuminated by ambient light sources including a green light beneath one vehicle and a red light on the right vehicle.
    A nighttime military scene showing armed soldiers in full combat gear near a row of tan/desert-colored HMMWV (Humvee) military vehicles. One soldier in the foreground walks toward the camera wearing a helmet, body armor, and carrying a weapon, illuminated by artificial lighting. Additional soldiers and mounted weapons are visible in the background near the vehicle convoy.
    A soldier in camouflage uniform is positioned atop an armored military vehicle during nighttime operations, using an optical sighting device. The vehicle is equipped with a remote weapon station featuring what appears to be a heavy machine gun or autocannon. Frost-covered trees are visible in the background, suggesting cold weather conditions.
    A U.S. Army soldier identified by the name tape 'HOWES' is illuminated by red light in what appears to be a nighttime military operation or briefing. The soldier is wearing Army Combat Uniform (ACU), a combat helmet with night vision goggle mount, and protective eyewear. The red lighting is consistent with night operations protocol, which preserves night vision while allowing visibility.
    A long-exposure nighttime photograph showing a military tactical vehicle on an open field with tracer fire or projectile light trails visible in the dark sky. The light trails form distinct linear paths extending from the vehicle's direction toward the upper right and a separate trajectory visible to the left. The image captures what appears to be a live-fire exercise or weapons test conducted at night.
