    A U.S. Army Special Forces soldier with Operational Detachment Alpha explains the course of action for a casualty evacuation exercise in mountainous terrain, aboard Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, Calif., July 24, 2018. Any special operations force element that comes to MCMWTC has the opportunity to do their list of schools; ranging from Assault Climber, Mountain Medicine, Mountain Sniper and others, or they can program their own training through use of an internal mountaineering subject matter expert.

    A night vision image captured through a generation-style image intensifier tube, showing a single standing figure in an outdoor environment. The characteristic green phosphor display and circular vignetting are consistent with standard night vision optics. The figure appears to be holding an elongated object, possibly a weapon or tool.
