    Artillery Marines from 1st Battalion, 12th Marines provide security as a Marine KC-130J loadmaster deploys a Navy Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System launcher aboard Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands, Hawaii, Aug. 15, 2021. After striking a naval target ship with two Naval Strike Missiles, 1/12 rehearsed tactical displacement and relocation. A key component of the Marine Corps’ Force Design 2030, expeditionary advanced base operations include low-signature, dispersed teams of Marines holding a potential adversary’s ships at risk from long-range precision strike weapons, providing sea control and contributing to sea denial in support of the Fleet. The training, part of Large Scale Exercise 2021, allowed Marines to refine support to distributed maritime operations by providing expeditionary advanced base operations and littoral operations in a contested environment.

    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) numbered 519 is underway on open water, carrying multiple military wheeled vehicles. The hovercraft's large propulsion fans are visibly spinning at the rear, and the inflated rubber skirt is visible at the bottom of the craft. The vessel appears to be conducting an amphibious transport or logistics operation.
    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) numbered 519 is underway at speed on open ocean water. The hovercraft is carrying multiple military wheeled vehicles, likely HMMWVs or similar tactical vehicles, on its cargo deck. The craft is generating significant spray and wake as it travels across the water surface.
    A military amphibious landing craft (LCAC or LCU) has beached on a sandy shore with its bow ramp lowered, offloading military vehicles. A tan/desert-colored military vehicle with what appears to be a missile defense or radar system mounted on top is positioned on the beach in the foreground. A naval vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
    Military personnel are loading or unloading a tan/desert-colored armored tactical vehicle (appearing to be an MRAP or JLTV) from the rear cargo ramp of a large military transport aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules. Several armed soldiers in combat gear and one individual in a flight suit are supervising or assisting the operation on a tarmac. Additional military aircraft are visible in the background.

Personnel and a ground support vehicle are positioned at the rear of the aircraft near the open cargo ramp. The image is taken from an elevated angle, likely from another aircraft or elevated platform.
    A military fuel or water tanker truck is positioned on an airfield tarmac, surrounded by several military personnel in flight suits and combat gear. The scene appears to depict a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) or similar tactical logistics operation. Personnel are actively moving around the vehicle, suggesting an ongoing operational or training exercise.
    A U.S. Marine in full combat gear stands on what appears to be a tarmac or road surface. The soldier is wearing MARPAT woodland digital camouflage uniform and helmet with a mounted device, and is holding a handheld electronic device while carrying a rifle. The image is a close-up portrait-style photograph taken in daylight.
    A missile or rocket is being launched from a ground-based military launcher system at what appears to be a military installation or test range. The missile is visibly in flight with a bright flame and smoke trail emanating from its exhaust. The surrounding area includes fencing, road signs, and sparse desert-like terrain.
    A Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft is entering or exiting the well deck of a naval amphibious assault ship. The craft appears to be carrying military vehicles, likely HMMWVs (Humvees), and is surrounded by spray and mist generated by its lift fans. The image is taken from inside the well deck, looking toward the stern opening of the ship.
    A military amphibious landing craft (LCAC or similar hovercraft) has beached on a sandy shoreline, deploying a tan/desert-colored military tactical vehicle, likely a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) or similar MRAP-type vehicle. At least two uniformed military personnel in camouflage are visible on the beach, one carrying a rifle. The scene appears to be an amphibious assault exercise or training operation.
    A tan/desert-colored military tactical vehicle marked 'R03G' is positioned on a sandy beach environment. At least two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are visible near the vehicle, which appears to be a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) or similar platform equipped with what appears to be a missile launcher system mounted on the rear. The setting suggests a training exercise or amphibious operation near a coastline.
    A military beach landing operation is depicted, showing a Landing Craft Utility (LCU) beached on a sandy shore with its ramp lowered. A desert-tan military vehicle equipped with what appears to be a missile launcher system (likely an HIMARS or similar rocket artillery system) is positioned on the beach. A naval vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
    The image shows the interior deck of a military landing craft (likely an LCU or similar vessel) with the bow ramp lowered, revealing two tan/desert-colored military tactical vehicles (appearing to be JLTVs or similar MRAPs) secured with chains. A single uniformed military personnel is visible standing between the vehicles. The craft appears to be beached or docked, with the ramp extended onto a sandy surface.
    A tan/desert-colored military tactical vehicle bearing the marking 'R03G' is positioned on a sandy beach, equipped with what appears to be a missile launcher or rocket artillery system in the raised/deployed position. Behind it sits a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft, suggesting an amphibious landing operation or exercise. A naval vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
