    A U.S. Army soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is bending over a field water distribution point, washing his face with water flowing from a military water purification or distribution unit. The equipment behind him appears to be a military tactical water purification system mounted on a trailer, with multiple hoses and fittings. The setting appears to be a military installation or training area in what looks like a European location.
