    A U.S. Marine in digital camouflage (MARPAT) uniform holds a handheld anemometer with a wind vane on what appears to be a military airfield tarmac. The Marine, whose name tape reads 'CUNNINGHAM,' is taking a wind measurement reading outdoors under overcast skies. The instrument is being held up and observed closely, suggesting an active weather or environmental assessment.
