    Three U.S. Marine Corps personnel in MARPAT woodland camouflage uniforms are participating in what appears to be a formal military awards or decoration ceremony on a tarmac or flight line. One Marine is pinning a decoration or medal onto the uniform of another Marine facing the camera, while a third Marine stands nearby holding a red presentation folder. The setting and formality suggest an official military ceremony.
