    Three military personnel in MARPAT (Marine digital camouflage) uniforms are performing maintenance or field-stripping exercises on crew-served weapons in an indoor classroom or briefing room setting. The foreground shows what appears to be an M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun mounted on a tripod, with additional weapons visible. This appears to be a weapons maintenance training session.

    Lance Cpl. Alejandro Pena, an air traffic control communication technician serving with Marine Air Control Squadron 1, studies the physical characteristics of the M2 .50-caliber machine gun during the non-infantry machine gunner's course at 1st Marine Division Schools here, Jan. 9, 2013. Pena, a 24-year-old native of Corona, Calif., said the .50-cal was his favorite weapon because it could destroy aerial targets as well as ground targets.
