    A military ceremony is taking place on a grass parade field, featuring soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms wearing face masks. A color guard is presenting flags including the United States flag and what appears to be the Pennsylvania state flag, suggesting this is a Pennsylvania National Guard event. The formation of troops in the background and the flag transfer in the foreground indicate this is likely a change of command or activation/deactivation ceremony.
    A military ceremony is taking place outdoors at what appears to be a U.S. Army installation, with a soldier in Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform speaking at a podium. Several other soldiers in OCP uniforms are seated as an audience, some wearing face masks consistent with COVID-19 protocols. A wooded hillside is visible in the background.

    Three U.S. Army soldiers in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms and black face masks stand at attention on an elevated platform during a military ceremony. Patriotic flags, including what appears to be a U.S. Army or unit ceremonial flag with stars and stripes, are prominently displayed and blowing in the wind. A red general officer flag with two white stars is visible in the background, indicating the presence of a Major General.
    Two U.S. Army soldiers in camouflage uniforms and face masks pose together during a military ceremony. The taller soldier, identified by his name tape as 'SCHAFER,' is being recognized with a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania certificate promoting him to Lieutenant General Andrew P. Schafer Jr. He is also wearing a medal and holding a case containing what appear to be lieutenant general rank insignia (three stars).
