    The image shows military personnel, likely U.S. Marines based on their MARPAT camouflage uniforms and campaign covers (Drill Instructor hats), at what appears to be an outdoor firing range or training area. One service member stands to the left holding a clipboard or tablet, while two others are positioned on a concrete barrier to the right, with one kneeling in a shooting position. The arid, desert-like terrain and mountainous background suggest a location such as a base in the American Southwest.

    U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Robert Germanelo, a primary marksmanship instructor and competitor with the Marine Corps Shooting Team, observes Marines during a training class for the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition at Edson Range on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Nov. 5, 2020. The competition at Pendleton is the first in a series scheduled for Marine bases around the world as part of the 2021 Competition-In-Arms Program, which will end with a championship match on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The program is designed to significantly enhance participants’ proficiency in the use of individual small arms by refining fundamental marksmanship skills, learning marksmanship techniques, and pushing through mental and physical boundaries in a competitive forum. Germanelo is a native of Marina, California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Kerstin Roberts)
