    A military forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operation is underway on a dry desert lakebed. A large military transport aircraft (likely a C-130 Hercules) is visible in the foreground with its rear ramp open, while a military attack helicopter (appears to be a Bell AH-1Z Viper) is being refueled in the middle distance. At least two personnel are visible on the cracked, arid terrain overseeing the operation.

    An AH-1Z Super Cobra with Marine Medium Helicopter 364 (Rein.), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, lands to refuel during a Mobile Marine Air Traffic Control training evolution in Djibouti, Jan 4. The mission for the MMT, or "pathfinders" as they're colloquially referred to, is to establish an assault landing zone (runway) and provide air traffic control for multiple aircraft as well as command and control during the entire refuel/resupply mission. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

    A military forward arming and refueling point (FARP) operation in an arid desert environment, likely a dry lake bed. Two CH-46 Sea Knight or CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopters are parked on cracked desert terrain while personnel conduct refueling operations from a large fixed-wing aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, visible in the foreground. Personnel in military desert camouflage uniforms are actively working around the aircraft.
    The image shows what appears to be military or tactical personnel operating in an arid desert flatland environment. Three individuals in desert-colored uniforms are visible, with two clustered together appearing to work on something on the ground, and one positioned further to the right. Equipment including what appears to be a weapon and an orange marker panel are visible on the ground nearby.
    Two military personnel in tan/desert-colored flight suits are conducting aircraft ground operations in an arid desert environment. They appear to be handling fuel hoses near a large military aircraft, with a red fire extinguisher positioned nearby as a safety precaution. The partial text 'UNITED' is visible on the aircraft fuselage, indicating a United States military asset.
    A military attack helicopter, identifiable as an AH-1Z Viper, is lifting off or hovering low over a desert terrain, generating a large dust cloud from rotor wash. A ground crew member wearing a helmet is crouched on the sandy surface holding what appears to be a fuel hose or tether line. A second helicopter is partially visible in the background through the dust cloud.
