    A U.S. Army soldier named Herrera crouches and shields himself from rotor wash as a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter performs a sling-load operation overhead. The helicopter is lifting a cargo net with supplies at what appears to be a forward operating airstrip in a tropical environment. A second Black Hawk helicopter is visible on the ground in the background.

    Two soldiers in U.S. Army ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are preparing to attach a sling load hook to a hovering UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter on a tarmac. One soldier is reaching upward holding a cargo hook while the other observes, suggesting a sling-load training or operational exercise. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical location based on the lush vegetation and palm trees visible in the background.
    A U.S. Army soldier in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage is attaching or inspecting a cargo hook/sling load connection on the underside of a military helicopter, likely a UH-60 Black Hawk. The soldier is wearing a combat helmet and hearing protection ear muffs while reaching up to manipulate the hook assembly. The image is taken from a low angle with a fisheye lens on what appears to be a tarmac or airfield in a tropical environment.
    A dark olive/black military helicopter, identifiable as a UH-60 Black Hawk, hovers low over a paved runway or airstrip in a tropical environment. A sling load cable extends beneath the helicopter toward a camouflage-painted military utility truck on the ground. Two soldiers in combat uniforms are crouching or moving near the vehicle, apparently assisting with the sling load operation.
    U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) digital camouflage are gathered on what appears to be a tarmac or airfield, working with sling load or aerial delivery rigging equipment. Several soldiers in the foreground are handling a hook assembly and rigging hardware connected to a large cargo bundle or equipment bag. Additional soldiers and personnel with cameras observe in the background.
