    A U.S. Marine in full combat gear is lying prone on a gravel surface, operating what appears to be a M57 firing device (clacker) connected to a Claymore mine or similar demolition device. The Marine is wearing MARPAT camouflage utilities, a PASGT/MICH-style helmet, tactical vest, and dark sunglasses. This appears to be a training exercise involving demolitions or breaching operations.
