    A line of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are in the prone firing position on sandy terrain, aiming rifles downrange. The scene appears to be a live-fire range exercise in an arid, dusty environment. Dust and haze obscure the background, where a structure is faintly visible in the distance.

    Marines with 81 mm mortar section, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, fire on the range here, July 13, 2013. “Basically what we’re doing is trying to reinforce that no matter how many times they fire the same range, they’re rehearsing for something bigger,” said Staff Sgt. Deacon Holton, a section leader with 2nd Bn., 8th Marines.

    Two U.S. Marines in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms and tactical gear are examining a shot-up silhouette target at what appears to be a live-fire shooting range in an arid environment. One Marine is pointing at the target, likely conducting a marksmanship assessment or after-action review. The heavily perforated target board and surrounding backstop show extensive prior use.

The personnel are equipped with combat gear including body armor, tactical vests, and M4-style rifles. The setting suggests a forward operating base or staging area in a desert region.
