    A group of military personnel in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are gathered near a covered bleacher or grandstand structure in an outdoor training environment. One seated service member appears to be distributing small items, possibly cards or packets, to others standing in a loose line. The setting appears to be a military training base or range facility.
    A line of military personnel in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are simultaneously firing shotguns at a shooting range. The image captures a volley fire exercise with visible muzzle blast and flame visible at the far right of the frame. This appears to be a formal marksmanship training or qualification exercise conducted outdoors.
    Two U.S. Marines in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are on a firing range. One Marine is actively firing a shotgun, with a large muzzle flash visible at the barrel. The other Marine, whose name tape reads 'WILKEMEYER,' appears to be observing or supervising the exercise.
    A person in U.S. Marine Corps desert MARPAT camouflage uniform is loading or handling a pump-action shotgun. A red shotgun shell is visible being inserted into the weapon's loading port. The setting appears to be an outdoor training or range environment.
    Two military personnel in MARPAT desert camouflage uniforms are working with a crew-served machine gun at what appears to be a firing range. One standing/crouching individual is adjusting or mounting an optic sight on the weapon, while a second individual wearing a helmet is in a prone firing position behind the weapon. A belt of ammunition is visible feeding into the weapon system.
