    Military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are conducting a live-fire exercise on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. One Marine is in a prone shooting position aiming a rifle equipped with an optic scope, while others stand nearby observing. Spent brass casings and additional weapons are visible on the deck, indicating active or recent firing.
    Two military personnel in full combat gear are positioned on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel, operating or maintaining a crew-served machine gun. Numerous spent brass casings and links are scattered across the deck surface, indicating recent weapons firing activity. The ocean is visible in the background, confirming a maritime operational environment.
    Three U.S. Marines in full combat gear are operating a crew-served machine gun mounted on a watercraft at sea. The Marines are identifiable by name tapes reading 'IGARRA', 'GOVEA', and a partially visible third name on the right. They appear to be conducting a live-fire exercise or weapons familiarization training from a small boat.
