    Two military personnel in US Navy digital camouflage (NWU Type III) uniforms are on a patrol boat, working with a mounted crew-served weapon, likely an M2 .50 caliber machine gun. The foreground soldier wears a tactical helmet with night vision mount and body armor, while the standing soldier in the background wears a boonie hat and sunglasses. The setting appears to be a waterway with vegetation in the background, suggesting a training or operational environment.

    U.S. Navy Engineman David Thompson, assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 4, conducts a systems check on a M2A1 machine gun during static and dynamic maritime force protection procedures at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point Navy Boat Docks, North Carolina, May 5, 2022. The exercise was intended to increase the sailors’ ability to gauge maneuvers of small enemy boats and their understanding of the enemy’s thought process. The mission of the Navy Boat Docks is to provide support to the air station, its bombing targets, and offer a training environment for Navy and Marine Corps units.
