    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform and cover observes a firing line during what appears to be a military training exercise. Multiple soldiers, likely from an African nation's armed forces based on their distinct camouflage pattern, are holding AK-pattern rifles in a firing position. The setting appears to be an outdoor range in a tropical or subtropical environment.
