    Marines with Bridge Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, assemble an improved ribbon bridge raft while the company was conducting an IRB training exercise aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., July 16, 2013. Five IRBs were transported and delivered by a CH-53E Sea Stallion and dropped into Oceanside harbor. Being one of only two active duty bridge companies in the Marine Corps, it was the first time for the West Coast battalion to have the IRB deployed in this manner. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

    A large military heavy-lift helicopter is performing an external sling load operation over a body of water near a rocky shoreline. The helicopter is lifting a substantial cargo load suspended by sling cables beneath its fuselage. Rotor wash is creating visible spray and mist on the water surface below.
    Military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are aboard a small watercraft observing a large helicopter performing a sling-load operation over a body of water. The helicopter, identifiable as a heavy-lift type (likely a CH-53 Sea Stallion), is carrying a suspended load while generating rotor wash visible as mist on the water surface. This appears to be a military training or operational exercise involving air-sea coordination.
    A military waterborne operation is underway near a coastal area, featuring olive-drab military vessels that appear to be pontoon bridge or causeway ferry sections being assembled or maneuvered on open water. Personnel in military uniforms are visible on the vessels, actively working to connect or position the floating sections. An American flag is visible on one of the vessels, and a developed shoreline with buildings is visible in the background.
    A gloved hand wearing a 'Mechanix' brand work glove and MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniform sleeve is reaching toward a military vehicle or vessel control panel. The panel features multiple analog gauges, toggle switches, levers, and warning placards on an olive drab/green surface. A 'Cummins Marine' label is visible, suggesting this is a marine vessel engine control station.
    Two military personnel in Marine Corps MARPAT camouflage uniforms and helmets are working with large coiled ropes on what appears to be a military watercraft. The scene takes place on open blue water with a distant shoreline visible in the background. The soldiers appear to be handling mooring or tow lines as part of a maritime operation or training exercise.
