    The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory executed Project Metropolis II ,a Dense Urban Operations limited operational experiment 2019 (DUO19) at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC), Indiana. The event aimed to effectively combine robotics, sensors, manned/unmanned vehicles, and dismounted Marines with a focus on improving Marines' ability to sense and locate the threat, observing their speed of decision making and speed of action, and determining their lethality when employing traditional and surrogate equipment versus an enemy force in a dense urban environment. This experiment took Marines assigned to 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, a squad-sized element from 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, and British Royal Marines assigned to 8 Troop Charlie Company, 40 Commando Royal Marines. The U.S. Marines and Royal Marine Commandos were divided into 'red' force and 'blue' force and engaged each other in a live force-on-force, free-play battle within a dense urban setting.

    A military instructor or leader stands elevated above a group of soldiers wearing MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms and combat gear, appearing to address or brief them. The scene takes place at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, as identified by the water tower visible in the background. The overcast sky and outdoor setting suggest a field training exercise or pre-mission briefing.
    A fisheye lens night sky photograph taken from inside or beneath a large circular dome opening, revealing a star-filled sky with a visible band of the Milky Way. The foreground shows several low-profile white or light-colored buildings surrounded by trees, illuminated faintly by ambient light. The circular framing of the dome aperture creates a distinctive oval vignette effect against a black border.
    A fisheye lens night photograph showing a person wearing tactical/plate carrier vest reclining outdoors beneath a dramatic starry sky with the Milky Way visible. The wide-angle distortion creates a circular frame effect, splitting the image between the illuminated subject below and the expansive night sky above. A light source beneath the subject illuminates them from below against a dark background.
    A long-exposure night photography shot taken with a fisheye lens, showing silhouetted figures gathered outdoors beneath a star-filled sky with a visible Milky Way band. The image appears to capture a stargazing or astronomy event near a building structure. Motion blur on the figures indicates the extended shutter speed required for astrophotography.
    A fisheye lens photograph taken inside a dimly lit, narrow interior space resembling a bunker, trailer, or prefabricated structure. Multiple individuals in dark tactical or military-style clothing are seated or positioned within the confined space, illuminated by a single small light source on the floor. The extreme wide-angle distortion and low-light conditions create a disorienting, claustrophobic atmosphere.
    The image shows multiple armed personnel in full tactical gear conducting what appears to be a military or law enforcement training exercise inside a dilapidated building. The personnel are positioned near a stairwell landing, with at least one operator aiming a rifle through a doorway.
