    A military-painted bulldozer is actively grading or clearing a large expanse of red clay/laterite soil under an overcast sky. At least two additional pieces of heavy equipment are visible in the background, suggesting a large-scale earthmoving or construction operation. The terrain appears flat and recently disturbed, consistent with site preparation for a runway, base, or infrastructure project.

    200422-N-PG340-1353 OKINAWA, Japan (April 22, 2020) Equipment Operator 2nd Class Samuel Ryan, deployed with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5, operates the Marine Wing Support Squadron 172’s medium crawler tractor bulldozer to move dirt, expanding a low-visibility landing and take-off zone. U.S. Navy Seabees with NMCB-5 are resurfacing a vertical take-off and landing pad and a coral runway to minimize foreign object damage at the Ie Shima Training Facility. NMCB-5 is deployed across the Indo-Pacific region conducting high-quality construction to support U.S. and partner nations to strengthen partnerships, deter aggression, and enable expeditionary logistics and naval power projection.
