    The image shows a military urban operation in what appears to be a Middle Eastern city with significant structural damage visible in the background. Several soldiers in full combat gear are positioned near large concrete blast walls, with one soldier climbing a red ladder to observe over the barrier. Military vehicles including what appears to be a crane vehicle and an armored vehicle with a gun barrel are present in the foreground.

    Soldiers detach the concrete barriers, also known as "T-Walls," from the crane during an effort to improve security in the southern portion of the Sadr City district of Baghdad May 3. The Soldiers from Company A, 64th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National-Division - Baghdad, are helping improve the security here by transporting the barriers while Soldiers from other units emplace them. During the mission, more than 90 barriers were set in place, which will help protect Iraqi citizens, Iraqi and U.S. Soldiers along the way from small-arms fire, improvised-explosive device and rocket attacks.
