    U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are operating or training on an M777 lightweight howitzer in an open field setting. The artillery piece is deployed and soldiers appear to be in the process of loading or conducting a fire mission. The setting appears to be a training exercise based on the organized, deliberate nature of the activity.
