    Dutch Royal Marine Corps Marine 1st Class Brian Souren, with the 32nd Raiding Squadron, participates in a live fire machine gun shoot near Netherlands Marine Barracks Savaneta, Aruba, Nov. 23, 2020. These 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 military service member in desert camouflage uniform and tactical helmet is positioned at a mounted weapon system aboard a naval vessel at sea. The image appears to capture a live-fire exercise or patrol operation, with visible water splash or impact in the background suggesting recent weapons discharge. The vessel is moving through open ocean under partly cloudy skies with strong backlighting from the sun.
    A military service member in combat gear is operating a mounted machine gun, visible from a low rear angle. A spent brass casing is visible mid-ejection to the right of the weapon, indicating active firing. The setting appears to be an open-air platform, likely a naval vessel or vehicle, under a partly cloudy sky.
    A military service member in desert camouflage (MARPAT pattern) is firing a crew-served machine gun mounted on a pedestal mount, likely aboard a naval vessel. Spent brass casings are visibly ejecting from the weapon during firing. The setting appears to be an open-water environment based on the horizon and deck surface visible in the background.
    A belt-fed machine gun, consistent with an M240 series general-purpose machine gun, is mounted on a naval pintle mount aboard a vessel at sea. The weapon is pointed upward at an angle against a partly cloudy sky with open ocean visible in the background. The mount shows signs of wear with chipped paint, suggesting regular operational use.

    Military personnel in full combat gear are firing rifles from what appears to be a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on open water.
