    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Autumn Becker, a native of Douglass, Pa., and a field artillery cannoneer, with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division (2d MARDIV), awaits dictions during Exercise Rolling Thunder 21.2 on Fort Bragg, N.C, April 18, 2021. This is a live-fire artillery exercise where 10th Marines employed distributed fires via simulated Expeditionary Advanced Bases (EAB’s). The training increased 2d MARDIV’s combat readiness against a peer competitor. HIMARS are an advanced long-range and mobile rocket system that allow 2d MARDIV to employ precision fires onto a target.

    A U.S. Marine identified by the name tape 'BECKER' stands facing a large multiple rocket launcher system, likely an M270 MLRS or similar artillery platform. The Marine is wearing full combat gear including MARPAT digital camouflage, a tactical vest with pouches, a Kevlar helmet, and hearing protection ear muffs. The setting appears to be an outdoor military training or operational area.
    Military personnel in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are conducting a rocket pod loading operation with what appears to be an M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) or similar artillery rocket launcher. Soldiers are handling large munition pod containers on a sandy training area surrounded by pine trees. The scene depicts a resupply or reloading exercise with at least three personnel visible.
    A rocket or missile is captured mid-launch, ascending nearly vertically from an open field. A dense white smoke trail extends from the projectile down to the ground-level launch point, where a large dust and smoke cloud has formed. The setting appears to be a rural or military testing area surrounded by a treeline under a partly cloudy sky.
    A rocket or missile is captured mid-launch, ascending vertically with a bright exhaust plume and large white smoke cloud billowing at the base.

    Three military personnel in camouflage uniforms and tactical vests pose in front of a large olive-green military rocket artillery vehicle. The vehicle appears to be an M142 HIMARS or similar High Mobility Artillery Rocket System mounted on a heavy tactical truck. The setting is an open sandy field with sparse dry grass and a treeline visible in the background.

    A military service member in camouflage uniform and combat helmet is positioned atop or alongside a large olive-drab military vehicle. The individual is wearing a communications headset with microphone and appears to be inspecting or managing cables/wiring on the vehicle's exterior.

    A bulldozer is actively pushing and piling earth in an open field, creating a long linear berm or earthwork mound. The scene appears to be a land clearing or grading operation at the edge of a pine forest. The overcast sky and dry grass suggest a cool season setting, likely autumn or early spring.
