    Two armed military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms and tactical gear are positioned on an inflatable rigid-hull boat (RHIB) at sea. One soldier appears to be shouting or giving commands while the other is positioned at what appears to be a mounted weapon or navigation equipment. The overcast sky and open ocean suggest an active maritime training or operational exercise.

    U.S. Marines with C Company, 2d Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon Bn.), 2d Marine Division (MARDIV) participate in visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) training with Netherlands Marines with the 32nd Raiding Squadron near Netherlands Marine Barracks Savaneta, Aruba, Nov. 13, 2020. VBSS skills are critical when fighting in littoral and coastal regions. 2d Recon Bn's mastery of these skills is paramount so they can integrate effectively with their naval counterparts to win the next major conflict. Being able to learn from the Dutch Marines in their primary area of operation helps 2d Recon Bn. build a faster, more mobile, and more lethal force when operating in diverse locations.

A second soldier in green camouflage is visible on the right side of the frame.
    Two military personnel in full combat gear are positioned on what appears to be a naval vessel, holding assault rifles in a tactical ready stance. Both individuals are wearing desert camouflage uniforms, tactical vests, ballistic helmets, and protective eyewear.
