    The NTNF Ground Collections Task Force plays a crucial role in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear detonation by collecting vital information and evidence at the incident site. When combined with intelligence and law enforcement information, their efforts can help lead authorities back to the bomb maker. Technical nuclear forensics is the collection, analysis and evaluation of pre-detonation (intact) and post-detonation (exploded) radiological or nuclear materials, devices and debris, as well as the immediate effects created by a nuclear detonation. The Department of Homeland Security led the planning for the exercise and facilitated its execution. For Prominent Hunt 12, evaluators simulated nuclear debris by using ground-up volcanic rock that hobby shop enthusiasts purchase to apply as gravel for model train tracks. Samplers used hand-held vacuums or brushes to collect in areas they believed contained specimens. With the collection team vacuuming dirt and rocks along with the sample, it would soon be time for analysts to separate materials to learn more about this ‘detonation.’

    Military personnel in U.S. Army combat uniforms (ACUs) are queued at a check-in counter, likely at a military terminal or base processing facility. Multiple state flags hang from the ceiling above the counter, and blue stanchion ropes guide the queue. The scene suggests a deployment, redeployment, or administrative processing event.
    Three individuals are engaged in a meeting or briefing in an office setting. One person is wearing U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) with visible patches including an American flag, while the other two are in civilian attire. The man in the black polo shirt appears to be presenting or explaining something, while the third person takes notes on a clipboard.
    Two individuals wearing tactical vests labeled 'TEFL' are reviewing a map inside what appears to be a military or emergency operations tent. One person is in military camouflage uniform while the other wears civilian clothing with a Columbia brand hat. The person on the right is pointing at the map with a pen, suggesting active planning or briefing.
    Three individuals wearing white Tyvek hazmat suits and full-face respirator gas masks are gathered outdoors, examining a handheld detection or sampling device. One person on the right is holding a clear container with a white lid, possibly for sample collection. The scene appears to be a hazardous materials response exercise or operation conducted in a grassy outdoor environment.

    Two men are standing in an open paved area near a military HMMWV (Humvee) vehicle. One man is wearing a white protective lab coat with yellow rubber boots and blue gloves, holding a clipboard, while the other in civilian clothes examines items in a plastic bag. The setting appears to be a military or industrial facility, suggesting a training exercise or sample collection procedure.
    A medical professional in a blue vest and bush hat is taking the blood pressure of a man wearing a gray 'ARMY' t-shirt under a blue tarp or tent. A medical monitoring device is visible on a table in the background. The setting appears to be an outdoor field medical station or triage area.
    The image shows what appears to be a military briefing or training session inside a temporary tent structure. Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are reviewing documents, while a civilian man wearing glasses and a dark shirt gestures toward a projected screen. A ceiling-mounted projector is actively displaying content on the right side of the frame.
    The image shows a military field operations area or exercise site with tan military tents, tactical vehicles, and personnel on a gravel/dirt surface. A helicopter is visible in flight overhead, suggesting active operations or a demonstration exercise. The scene includes perimeter marking with yellow rope/tape and various military equipment staged across the area.
    A group of individuals wearing gray 'ARMY' t-shirts are seated around a white table, filling out paperwork or forms. The setting appears to be a utilitarian indoor space, possibly a community center or temporary facility. Food trays and cups branded with 'CIBUS' are visible on the table, suggesting a meal or food-tasting evaluation session.
