    A U.S. Air Force service member assigned to the 352nd Special Operation Wing based out of RAF Mildenhall refuels a CV-22B Osprey prior to a mission, Dec. 12, 2019, near Banak Air Station, Norway. The training was part of a larger exercise that encompassed live ammunition fire, infiltration and exfiltration, and cold-weather training utilizing the 352nd SOW’s CV-22B Osprey and MC130J Commando II. The CV-22 Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft that combines the vertical takeoff, hover and vertical landing qualities of a helicopter with the long-range, fuel efficiency and speed characteristics of a turboprop aircraft. Its mission is to conduct long-range infiltration, exfiltration and resupply missions for special operations forces. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Elizabeth Pena)

    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a V-22 Osprey variant (likely CV-22 based on USAF markings), is captured during takeoff or landing on a snow-covered airfield. The rotors are in helicopter mode (tilted upward) and are spinning, creating a visible snow/dust wash across the tarmac. Snow-capped mountains and a treeline are visible in the background, suggesting a cold-weather northern environment.
    Two military personnel in white winter camouflage uniforms are operating equipment in a snowy arctic or subarctic environment during twilight conditions. One soldier is bending over what appears to be a military equipment case or sled with an illuminated red indicator light, while the other stands observing. The setting features a snow-covered landscape with sparse trees and hills in the background under a golden sunset sky.
    A soldier in white winter camouflage gear is kneeling on snow in a firing position, aiming a weapon with a visible muzzle flash toward a snow-covered valley. The terrain features rolling snow-covered hills with sparse bare trees, suggesting a subarctic or Nordic environment. The scene appears to be a military exercise or combat operation conducted in low-light winter conditions.
    The image shows military personnel in winter camouflage gear operating in a snowy environment during low-light conditions, likely at dawn or dusk. The foreground soldier is shouldering what appears to be a rocket launcher or anti-tank weapon system. The soldiers are equipped with full tactical gear including helmets with night-vision mounts, body armor, and communication equipment.
    A soldier in winter camouflage (white oversuit) and tactical helmet is handling what appears to be a shoulder-fired rocket launcher or anti-tank weapon system. The setting appears to be a cold-weather military training exercise, likely in a Scandinavian or Arctic environment based on the snow-covered ground and conifer trees. Several other personnel in mixed winter gear are visible in the background observing.
    A group of individuals on snowmobiles traverse a snow-covered road in a mountainous winter landscape, likely during dusk or dawn given the low golden light. One person standing on a snowmobile is wearing white winter camouflage gear and raising a hand, while another rider wears a bright red jacket. The setting appears to be a Nordic or Arctic region with snow-laden conifer trees and large snow-covered mountains in the background.
    A military transport aircraft, consistent with a C-130 Hercules, is parked on a tarmac in a cold, wintry environment with snow-covered mountains and coniferous trees in the background. The aircraft's rear cargo ramp is open and a red beacon light is illuminated on the tail. A group of military personnel in combat gear are gathered near the left side of the aircraft, likely preparing for loading or a briefing.
