    A soldier in desert camouflage (MARPAT pattern) is pictured in what appears to be a military training environment or mock village. The individual is fully equipped with protective gear including a helmet, ballistic goggles, and face covering, and is carrying a rifle with a blue barrel/training barrel indicator. The blue-tipped barrel strongly suggests this is a force-on-force training exercise using simunition or training weapons.

    A soldier in desert MARPAT camouflage uniform is positioned against a tan/adobe wall in a tactical stance, holding a training rifle with a blue barrel indicator.

The soldier is wearing full protective gear including a gas mask, tactical vest, gloves, and a cover with goggles.
