    A group of approximately six military or special operations personnel are gathered on a black rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on open water. Several individuals in gray uniforms are leaning over the side of the boat, appearing to handle equipment at the waterline, while others in tactical gear observe or stand watch. Faces have been pixelated/blurred, suggesting operational security considerations.
