    Military personnel in various camouflage uniforms are engaged in close-quarters combat training or martial arts sparring on blue and black mats inside a tent or temporary structure. Multiple pairs and groups of soldiers are simultaneously practicing grappling and wrestling techniques. The image shows motion blur indicating active, dynamic movement during the training exercise.
    A group of individuals, including personnel in U.S. Marine Corps desert camouflage uniforms, are gathered in what appears to be a military tent or facility. A person in the foreground is wearing traditional Kendo protective armor (bogu), including the men (helmet) and do (chest protector), while another person assists in adjusting or securing the helmet straps. The scene suggests a cultural exchange or demonstration of Kendo, a Japanese martial art, likely between U.S. Marines and Japanese military or civilian practitioners.
    Military personnel from at least two different forces are participating in a combatives or martial arts training session on a blue mat inside a facility. Soldiers wearing MultiCam/OCP uniforms and others in desert camouflage uniforms are observing and participating in ground fighting techniques. An instructor appears to be demonstrating a ground control or submission technique to the assembled group.
    Military personnel are engaged in a close-quarters combat or martial arts training session inside what appears to be a military tent facility. One soldier in olive/tan camouflage is applying a rear chokehold or restraint technique on another soldier wearing desert camouflage pattern. Other military personnel in mixed uniforms are seated on mats observing the demonstration.
    Two individuals in desert camouflage uniforms are demonstrating martial arts techniques on a blue mat inside a tent or temporary structure. One person is executing a high kick toward the other, who is in a defensive stance. A group of military personnel in combat uniforms observes the demonstration from the perimeter.
    A military hand-to-hand combat training session is taking place on blue mats in what appears to be a shipboard or indoor training facility. One instructor in desert camouflage uniform is demonstrating a fighting stance to a group of uniformed personnel, while two observers in green multicam uniforms watch from the foreground. Large mirrors on the back wall reflect the group, making the formation appear larger.
    A large group of military personnel from what appear to be multiple nations pose for a group photograph inside a military tent or temporary structure. The group is gathered on blue martial arts or exercise mats, suggesting a combatives or physical training session has taken place. Personnel are wearing a mix of desert camouflage uniforms and civilian/training attire.
