The foreground soldier wears a buff/gaiter face covering and sunglasses, while background soldiers wear standard white face masks, suggesting COVID-19 era protocols. Unit patches are visible, including what appears to be a 10th Mountain Division patch on the foreground soldier.
    A U.S. Army soldier wearing standard PT (Physical Training) uniform with a face gaiter and a blue/yellow ribbon or medal around their neck is performing a deadlift with a heavily loaded barbell on a grassy outdoor field.

The setting is an outdoor grassy area surrounded by trees, photographed in warm early morning or late afternoon light.
    Two military personnel in multicam/OCP camouflage uniforms are engaged in what appears to be a field training exercise on a sandy dirt clearing surrounded by trees.

A second soldier is visible in the background, bent over, and a water canteen sits on the ground nearby.
    A soldier in full combat gear walks along a paved road lined with trees. The individual is carrying a rifle and wearing a large rucksack, suggesting participation in a ruck march or field training exercise. The setting appears to be a military installation or training area.
