    MEDITERRANEAN SEA (Sept. 10, 2018) Sailors maneuver a rigid-hull inflatable boat alongside the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) while participating in visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) training during Exercise Bright Star 2018. Bright Star is a multilateral U.S. Central Command exercise held with the Arab Republic of Egypt focused on responding to modern-day security scenarios. U.S. Navy and coalition assets are participating in numerous exercises, such as Bright Star, as part of the greater Theater Counter Mine and Maritime Security Exercise to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

    Military personnel in full tactical gear are aboard a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) moving at speed across open ocean waters. The foreground soldier is wearing camouflage fatigues, a black ballistic helmet, sunglasses, tactical gloves, and a wristwatch, and is gripping the boat's gunwale rope. The image captures an apparent maritime tactical operation or training exercise with multiple armed personnel visible.
    A group of military personnel in tactical gear and helmets are aboard a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) navigating rough open water at high speed. Large waves are crashing over the bow, drenching the occupants with sea spray. A larger naval vessel is visible in the background to the left.
    A group of military or law enforcement personnel in full tactical gear are aboard a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) moving at speed across open water. The personnel are wearing camouflage uniforms, black helmets, body armor, and tactical vests. One individual in a bright orange life vest, appearing to be a detainee or civilian, is visible near the bow of the vessel.
    A wide-angle fisheye photograph taken aboard a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) showing military personnel operating at sea. Several sailors and personnel in tactical gear, helmets, and orange life vests are visible on the small craft, with a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and at least two other warships visible in the background.

The scene takes place over open ocean under a partly cloudy sky with warm ambient light.
    A military helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk variant, is positioned on the flight deck of a naval vessel at dusk or dawn. Two personnel are visible in silhouette performing deck operations near the aircraft. The rotor blades are in motion, indicated by motion blur, suggesting the helicopter is running or recently powered.
    A military helicopter is hovering over the flight deck of a naval vessel during sunset operations at sea. Several crew members in silhouette are visible on the deck, appearing to guide or signal the aircraft during landing or departure procedures. The dramatic backlighting from the setting sun creates strong silhouette contrasts against a partly cloudy sky.
    A military helicopter is positioned on the flight deck of a naval vessel at sunset over open ocean. A deck crew member is visible in silhouette, appearing to signal with raised arms toward the helicopter. The dramatic lighting from the setting sun creates strong contrast between the silhouetted figures and the warm sky.
    A military helicopter, consistent with a Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk, is captured hovering or landing on the flight deck of a naval vessel at dusk or dawn.

The scene is set against a dramatic sky with scattered clouds illuminated by warm sunset/sunrise light over open ocean.
    Two silhouetted figures stand on the deck of a naval vessel at sunset or sunrise over open ocean. One figure appears to be gesturing with raised hands toward the horizon, while the other stands nearby observing. The dramatic backlighting creates strong silhouettes against a golden sky with scattered clouds.
    A helicopter is silhouetted against a dramatic sunset sky over an open ocean. The sun is low on the horizon to the left, casting golden rays through scattered clouds. The scene has a moody, cinematic quality with strong contrast between the dark silhouette and the illuminated sky.
    A group of heavily equipped military personnel in camouflage gear and tactical vests are assembled on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. The soldiers are wearing helmets with alphanumeric identifiers (A2, A3, B3, C3, D1) and carrying full combat loadouts. A warship, appearing to be a destroyer-class vessel, is visible in the background on open water.
    An aerial/overhead photograph showing military personnel in multicam/OCP camouflage uniforms aboard a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) alongside a larger gray naval vessel. One soldier wearing a combat helmet and sunglasses is climbing a rope ladder attached to the ship's hull. A person in a red life vest is also visible in the RHIB, suggesting a possible maritime interdiction or boarding operation.
    A military service member wearing US Navy NWU (Naval Working Uniform) digital camouflage, a black combat helmet, safety glasses, and a tactical vest with a communications headset. The individual appears to be aboard a naval vessel, indicated by the metal bulkhead with brass fittings visible in the background. A second person wearing a blue helmet is partially visible in the background.
    Military personnel from what appear to be multiple nations are gathered inside a naval vessel, engaged in a briefing or discussion.
