The desk nameplate reads 'CSM GREEN' and the office background shows a bulletin board covered with documents and papers.
    A military helicopter is captured in flight against a clear teal-blue sky, photographed from a front-facing angle. The helicopter appears to be an Airbus/Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota or similar variant in olive drab military livery. A flame or exhaust flare is visible on the left side of the fuselage, and rotor blades show motion blur indicating active flight.
    A person wearing US Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage is applying or adjusting a field bandage/dressing to what appears to be a limb. The image captures a close-up of hands working with white gauze or bandaging material wrapped around a clothed extremity. This appears to depict combat casualty care or first aid training/application.
    Two military personnel in desert tan uniforms are working on an aircraft weapons loading operation on a flight line in what appears to be a desert environment. A female service member in the foreground is manipulating hardware on a weapons pylon or mounting bracket, while a male service member in the background wearing hearing protection handles a missile. The visible missile in the background is labeled 'AIM-120C', an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM).
    A large white U.S. Navy hospital ship, identified as the USNS Mercy (T-AH-19), is underway on open blue ocean waters.

A rainbow is visible in the background against a partly cloudy sky.

This appears to be a formal military inspection or sideboy ceremony.
    A group of military personnel in full tactical gear are positioned on what appears to be a military patrol boat on open water.

    A U.S. Marine in desert camouflage uniform is in a kneeling tactical position on the deck of a vessel, aiming a rifle while using a red equipment box as cover. In the background, a U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship is visible on the open ocean, along with a military helicopter in the upper left.

    An aerial/overhead view of four U.S. Navy sailors in Navy Working Uniform (NWU) digital blue camouflage pattern hauling large mooring lines on the deck of a naval vessel.
