    A military parade or formation exercise is underway, with soldiers in green camouflage uniforms marching in coordinated rows. A person wearing tan/khaki uniform and a red beret is crouched low to the ground in the center of the marching columns, possibly photographing or documenting the event. The soldiers appear to be extending their arms outward as part of a synchronized marching drill.
    Two soldiers in camouflage uniforms and green berets are marching on a paved surface, with one carrying the flag of Morocco.
