    A line of military personnel in desert MARPAT camouflage uniforms are in a prone firing position on a grassy hillside. The foreground soldier is equipped with what appears to be an M27 IAR or M16-variant rifle fitted with a magnified optic and thermal/night-vision device. The setting appears to be a live-fire training range exercise based on the controlled formation and background infrastructure.
