    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are working together on a construction project, laying concrete blocks or masonry. One soldier has a patch visible reading 'GUATEMALA' and 'CIEG', suggesting this is a joint military engineering or humanitarian assistance operation. The setting appears to be an outdoor construction site with wooden formwork and concrete block walls being built.

    U.S. Marine Cpl. Randy O'Connell and a member of the Guatemalan Army Corps of Engineers work together to lay blocks at a construction site in Escuintla, Guatemala, July 19, 2018. The Marines, with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Southern Command, are working with the Guatemalan military as part of a U.S. Southern Command humanitarian assistance project coordinated with the government of Guatemala to build temporary housing for people left without homes after Volcan de Fuego erupted in early June. The Marines and sailors of SPMAGTF-SC are conducting security cooperation training and engineering projects alongside partner nation military forces in Central and South America. The unit is also on standby to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in the event of a hurricane or other emergency in the region. O'Connell, a native of Battle Creek, Michigan, is a water support technician with Marine Detachment - Southern Partnership Station, attached to SPMAGTF-SC. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt.
