    U.S. Air Force pararescuemen assigned to the 48th Rescue Squadron and French Air Commandos provide cover after moving a simulated patient into a Eurocopter EC-725 for aerial transport during a personnel recovery scenario in Southern Arizona on Nov. 7, 2017. Angel Thunder is a two-week, Air Combat Command-sponsored, joint certified and accredited personnel recovery exercise focused on search and rescue. The exercise is designed to provide training for personnel recovery assets using a variety of scenarios to simulate deployment conditions and contingencies. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

    A military personnel member in camouflage uniform and hearing protection stands on a tarmac at night, observing a military helicopter with its lights on. The scene appears to be a pre-flight or post-flight ground operation at a military airfield. Several other personnel are visible near the aircraft in the background.
    A night vision image captured through what appears to be a night observation device (NOD), showing a military helicopter on a ground surface with personnel nearby. The circular vignette and green monochromatic rendering are characteristic of Generation 2 or Generation 3 image intensification night vision equipment. A bright light source is visible near the aircraft, and a second aircraft or light source appears in the upper portion of the frame.
    A military helicopter, consistent with a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk or similar variant, is photographed on a tarmac at night with rotor blades in motion. Navigation lights (red and green) are illuminated, and a bright spotlight is visible near the fuselage. At least one person in tactical gear is visible near the aircraft.
    A night vision (NVG) captured image showing a military helicopter in low hover or landing phase, with a door gunner visible manning a weapon system. The circular vignette is characteristic of night vision goggle photography. Multiple light sources are visible including navigation lights and what appears to be a spotlight or muzzle flash.
    A night vision image captured through a circular lens showing a helicopter in flight against a dark sky. The helicopter appears to be equipped with a searchlight or spotlight directed downward, visible as a bright beam. The characteristic green monochrome tones and circular vignetting confirm this was captured using night vision optics (NVG - Night Vision Goggles or similar device).
    A military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk silhouette, is captured flying at low altitude through a heavy dust cloud or brownout condition. The rotor wash is visibly churning up dust and debris from the ground below. Sparse green vegetation is visible at the bottom of the frame, suggesting an arid or semi-arid environment.
    A military helicopter is captured hovering low above the ground, generating a large brownish dust cloud from its rotor wash. The aircraft appears to be in a landing or low-altitude hover phase during what appears to be a military operation or exercise. The heavy dust obscures much of the surrounding environment, creating dramatic visual conditions.
    Two military personnel are positioned in a field or trench area, appearing to be engaged in a training exercise. The foreground soldier wears a helmet labeled 'SERE' with protective goggles and is operating a handheld radio or communication device. A second soldier in the background is seated and appears to be reviewing documents or equipment.
    Two personnel are silhouetted atop a military helicopter during twilight, performing what appears to be maintenance or pre-flight inspection work. The scene is set against a dramatic sunset sky with orange and purple cloud formations, with mountain silhouettes visible in the background. The low-light conditions render most details in dark silhouette.
    Military personnel in olive drab/camouflage uniforms are positioned in a field environment, likely during a training exercise. The central figure is wearing a helmet with goggles and holding a handheld radio device to their ear. The scene appears to be a tactical field position with multiple soldiers in close proximity.
    A military-style helicopter is flying over a desert landscape under heavily overcast, gray skies. The terrain below consists of sparse desert scrubland with low mountains or hills visible in the background. The image is dark and moody due to the cloud cover, rendering the helicopter largely as a silhouette.
    The image shows military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms attending to a downed or injured soldier on the ground. One soldier wearing a helmet with night-vision mount and protective goggles is leaning over the casualty, while another hand is presenting what appears to be a medical card or casualty tag. The scene appears to depict a tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) scenario, either real or a training exercise.
    A group of military personnel, identifiable as Pararescuemen (PJs) based on visible helmet markings, are conducting a casualty extraction exercise in an arid, desert-scrub terrain. Multiple operators are working together to load or move a simulated casualty onto a litter/stretcher in a shallow depression or trench. The setting and vegetation suggest a Southwestern U.S. training environment.
    Two military personnel wearing tactical gear and helmets are working together to handle a green litter/stretcher on the ground in an outdoor field environment. The soldier on the right has 'PJ' markings on both his helmet and shoulder patch, identifying him as a Pararescueman (USAF PJ). They appear to be conducting a casualty evacuation or medical training exercise.
    Two soldiers in full combat gear observe a military helicopter landing or taking off in a dusty, arid environment. The rotor wash is kicking up a significant dust cloud, partially obscuring the aircraft. The scene appears to depict a tactical helicopter insertion or extraction operation in a desert-like terrain.
    A group of heavily armed soldiers in desert camouflage are positioned on arid ground while a large military helicopter kicks up a massive dust cloud during a landing or takeoff operation. The soldiers appear to be in a tactical formation, with some providing security while others crouch low. One soldier's backpack displays what appears to be an 'Arizona' patch.

The rotor wash is kicking up significant dust, reducing visibility in the background. The scene appears to depict a tactical insertion or extraction operation.
    A military helicopter, identifiable as a Eurocopter EC725 (Caracal) type, has landed in an arid, dusty terrain while rotor blades are still spinning. A small group of armed soldiers in full combat gear are taking a tactical position alongside the front-left of the aircraft. The environment appears to be a semi-arid region with sparse vegetation and rocky hills in the background.
    A silhouetted military personnel is photographed against a twilight sky, holding a tactical radio communication device. The image is a dramatic low-light composition taken at dusk or dawn, with the subject rendered almost entirely in shadow. Only the glowing green display of the radio and the outline of the soldier's helmet and gear are distinguishable.
    A silhouetted military personnel is operating a handheld tactical radio/communication device at dusk or dawn. The figure is wearing a combat helmet with what appears to be night-vision goggle mounts and tactical gear. The dramatic backlit sky with orange and blue tones creates a strong silhouette effect.
    A uniformed individual is crouching in a desert landscape at dusk or dawn, appearing to use a handheld device or optic near a large desert shrub. The person is wearing tactical gear including a helmet with visible lettering, a vest, and olive/green uniform. The arid environment features sparse desert vegetation, sandy soil, and a cloudy twilight sky.
    A night vision image showing military personnel gathered around what appears to be a helicopter, likely a UH-60 Black Hawk, on a landing pad or tarmac. The image is captured through a night vision device, producing the characteristic circular green-tinted view. Multiple personnel in military gear are visible conducting what appears to be a pre-mission briefing or post-landing activity.
    A military helicopter, consistent with a UH-60 Black Hawk, is silhouetted against a dramatic sunset sky with vivid orange, red, and pink cloud formations. Ground crew personnel are visible working on and around the aircraft, with one individual positioned on top of the fuselage. Mountainous terrain is visible in the background, suggesting an arid, desert environment.
    A military personnel identified as a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) is crouching on a paved surface at night, inspecting or configuring a piece of equipment.
