    Two soldiers in different camouflage uniforms are positioned behind natural cover consisting of fallen logs and vegetation in a tropical or subtropical outdoor environment. One soldier, wearing MARPAT (US Marine Corps pattern) camouflage with a tan helmet and tactical vest, is pointing in a direction while appearing to communicate with the second soldier. The second soldier wears a distinctly different camouflage pattern, suggesting this may be a joint or combined arms training exercise.
