    Multiple U.S. Army soldiers in full combat gear are gathered around a point on sandy ground where smoke or dust is rising. The central soldier, identified by name tape as 'HENLEY,' is bent over examining or working on something at ground level. This appears to be a training exercise involving explosive ordnance, demolitions, or IED detection/disposal.

Avante Henley, a combat engineer with the 833rd Engineer Company out of Ottumwa, Iowa, helps cover a cratering charge with dirt and sand on a demolition range at Orchard Combat Training Center, in Idaho, on June 10, 2022. Cratering charges are placed below ground and detonated to create large craters which can be used to destroy enemy tunnels, roads and runways.

    U.S. Army soldiers in multicam and ACU uniforms are gathered around a crouching soldier who is working with equipment or materials on the ground in an outdoor, arid training environment. The central soldier is wearing a helmet with a mounted device and body armor, and appears to be handling wires or cables connected to an object in the dirt. This appears to be a field training exercise, possibly involving demolitions, IED awareness, or combat engineering tasks.
    A U.S. Army soldier is seated inside a military vehicle, operating the steering wheel while looking forward. The soldier is wearing standard Army Combat Uniform (ACU) in MultiCam/OCP pattern, a combat helmet with chin strap, and ballistic protective eyewear. The background through the vehicle window shows an open, arid or semi-arid landscape.
    Two soldiers in U.S. Army camouflage uniforms (OCP/Multicam pattern) are kneeling in a grassy field observing a controlled explosion or detonation in the distance. The explosion produces a visible dust and smoke cloud on an open training range. This appears to be a military training exercise conducted in an arid or semi-arid environment.
    A U.S. Army soldier identified by name tape as 'KOONS' is pictured in full combat gear, wearing Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniform and helmet. The soldier is holding what appears to be a handheld communication device or controller while looking downward. A second soldier in similar gear is partially visible in the lower right corner.
    Two U.S. Army soldiers in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniforms are working beneath concertina (razor) wire, appearing to handle or route a cable or wire. The foreground soldier's name tape reads 'BARTHOLOMEW' and displays a U.S. flag patch and what appears to be a 1st Cavalry Division patch. The scene appears to be a field training exercise or operational deployment involving wire obstacle work.
    A group of U.S. Army soldiers in full combat gear are engaged in a discussion or briefing in an open field environment. The central figure, identifiable by a name tape reading 'OSBORN' and a single-star rank insignia indicating a Brigadier General, appears to be leading or participating in the conversation. The setting appears to be a training area or field exercise location based on the terrain and conditions.
    A U.S. Army soldier in full combat uniform and helmet is crouched down working with wires or detonation cord near what appears to be an ordnance or explosive device on sandy ground. Additional soldiers are visible in the background and foreground, partially out of focus. The setting appears to be an open, arid training range under clear skies.
    The image shows multiple U.S. Army soldiers in a field training exercise in an arid, scrubland terrain. Soldiers are wearing Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniforms with tactical gear, helmets, and sunglasses. A military vehicle is visible in the distant background.
    A large controlled explosion or detonation is occurring in an arid, semi-desert landscape covered with sparse scrub brush and dry soil. A tall mushroom-shaped column of dark brown and gray smoke and dust rises prominently against a partly cloudy sky. The surrounding terrain appears to be a flat, open range or training area with low vegetation.
    A U.S. Army soldier identified by name tape as 'NEWTON' stands in the foreground wearing full combat gear including OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform, plate carrier, helmet with mounted device, and tactical gloves. Two additional soldiers are visible in the middle ground with their backs turned, and multiple military vehicles including what appear to be HMMWVs and a large tactical truck are staged in the background. The setting appears to be an arid, scrub-brush training environment.
    Multiple U.S. Army soldiers in full combat gear are gathered around a point on sandy ground where smoke or dust is rising. The central soldier, identified by name tape as 'HENLEY,' is bent over examining or working on something at ground level. This appears to be a training exercise involving explosive ordnance, demolitions, or IED detection/disposal.
    The image shows a large dust and debris explosion column rising from a flat, open grassland terrain under a partly cloudy blue sky. The explosion plume is tan and dark brown in color, suggesting a ground-level detonation displacing soil and earth. A vehicle or equipment is faintly visible to the left of the blast site.
