    A group of military personnel in combat gear and camouflage uniforms are marching along a gravel road toward snow-capped mountains in the background. The scene appears to take place during late spring or early summer, as trees are budding with fresh foliage while remnants of snow remain on the roadside and mountain peaks. The setting suggests a northern or subarctic training environment.

    U.S. Marines with Marine Rotational Force-Europe 20.2, Marine Forces Europe and Africa, hike to their next objective point during a 6-mile ruck circuit in Setermoen, Norway, June 12, 2020. During the exercise, groups of Marines from MRF-E’s weapons company raced against each other while being challenged with strength training, knowledge of artillery systems and radio communication, and care under fire. MRF-E conducts various exercises, including arctic cold-weather and mountain-warfare training, as well as military-to-military engagements throughout Europe that enhance cooperation among partners and allies.

    A rural gravel road winds through a Scandinavian-looking landscape with lush green trees and a forested mountain in the background. Several individuals in dark clothing, appearing to be military or uniformed personnel, are walking along the road toward a small settlement. Patches of snow are still visible on the roadside, suggesting early spring conditions.
    A U.S. Marine identified by the name tape 'WALTERS' is seated outdoors in a wooded area, operating a military radio (tagged PRC-152). He is wearing MARPAT woodland digital camouflage utilities and a boonie cover. A topographic map and a spiral notebook are visible on gear in the foreground, suggesting a land navigation or communications exercise.
    U.S. Marines in woodland camouflage uniforms are handling and inspecting what appears to be an M240 machine gun in an outdoor training environment. The setting appears to be a northern or arctic region, evidenced by snow-capped hills, sparse birch trees, and clear blue skies. The Marines appear to be conducting weapons maintenance or a training exercise.
    A group of military personnel in combat gear and camouflage uniforms are marching along a gravel road toward snow-capped mountains in the background. The scene appears to take place during late spring or early summer, as trees are budding with fresh foliage while remnants of snow remain on the roadside and mountain peaks. The setting suggests a northern or subarctic training environment.
    Four military personnel in woodland camouflage uniforms are holding rifles overhead with both arms extended, facing an instructor or supervisor standing in front of them. The exercise appears to be a physical training or weapons-handling drill conducted outdoors on a gravel surface. The setting features snow-capped mountains and sparse vegetation in the background, suggesting a northern or subarctic environment.
    Several U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are operating what appears to be an M224 60mm mortar system in an outdoor field setting. One Marine is holding the mortar tube while others crouch around the bipod and baseplate assembly. The setting appears to be a training exercise based on the deliberate, instructional posture of the personnel.
    Four military personnel in MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a mortar training exercise in an outdoor field setting. The foreground soldier is using a lensatic compass aligned with a red and white aiming stake, performing an azimuth or direction-finding procedure. Additional soldiers observe and assist in the background near a mortar tube.
    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is setting up or adjusting a mortar system on a grassy field. The soldier, identified by a name tape reading 'TORRE,' is kneeling and positioning the base plate of what appears to be an M252 81mm mortar. The setting appears to be a training area with treelines visible in the background.
