    A group of U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) are engaged in a sandbagging operation, likely in response to flooding or as flood prevention measures. They are using shovels to move sand from large piles onto what appears to be a conveyor or sandbag-filling apparatus. The operation is taking place in an outdoor staging area with vehicles and infrastructure visible in the background.

    South Dakota Army National Guard Pvt. Jason Weedman, of the 153rd Forward Support Company out of Parkston, scoops a shovel full of sand into a sandbag, June 3, at the Gateway facility in North Sioux City, S.D. Weedman and other National Guard members are working alongside inmates and volunteers producing up to 150,000 sandbags per day at the site. Officials estimate the Gateway facility and several other sites in the area are producing nearly 500,000 sandbags a day as the Missouri River continues to rise.

    A large group of inmates wearing orange uniforms labeled 'INMATE' are filling and stacking sandbags, likely in response to a flood emergency. They are working in an outdoor area with large mounds of sand in the background and wooden pallets nearby. At least one uniformed guard or supervisor in tan/khaki clothing is visible overseeing the operation.
    A flood emergency response operation is underway at what appears to be a staging area or depot. A Yale forklift operator is loading pallets of dark green sandbags onto a flatbed trailer that already carries white sandbags, with a red Kubota tractor also present on the trailer. A blue water tower is visible in the background of the outdoor facility.

    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) pattern camouflage are handling a white sandbag in an outdoor staging area. Additional soldiers and military equipment, including what appears to be a large military vehicle or weapons system, are visible in the background. The scene suggests flood control, disaster relief, or base fortification operations.
    A military service member in Army Combat Uniform (ACU) pattern cap and tan t-shirt operates a sandbag-filling machine branded 'Load King' (a division of CMI Corporation). Sand or granular material is being fed from above into the machine, which fills white sandbags below. A second service member is visible in the background assisting with the operation.
