    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are conducting an augmented reality (AR) training exercise indoors, wearing AR headsets and aiming rifles. The setting appears to be a military facility hallway or common area, with a vending machine and water fountain visible in the background. The system in use appears to be the ARES (Augmented Reality Enhanced Soldier) training platform, indicated by a QR-style marker on the vending machine.

    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Gunner Locke and Cpl. Kain Knupple, both instructors assigned to Combat Skills Training School, Headquarters and Service Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, utilize M4 service rifles during a virtual reality training scenario as part of a dry-fire training system demonstration on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, July 21, 2026. Marines tested out multiple products with auto-resetting trigger systems, analytics, smart feedback, and an augmented virtual reality system to provide realistic scenario training.

    An indoor briefing or demonstration room shows a civilian instructor in black clothing and cap aiming an AR-style rifle with a red magazine and optical scope toward the left of the frame. A Marine in digital camouflage uniform sits to the right taking notes, while another person in black operates equipment at a table in the background. A podium bearing what appears to be a U.S. Marine Corps unit insignia is visible in the center background.
    A young man in US Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is holding a training pistol (identified by its red/orange frame, indicating a non-lethal or inert training weapon) in a two-handed shooting stance. He has visible tattoos on his forearms and is wearing a wristwatch. The setting appears to be an indoor training facility or classroom environment.
    A smartphone displaying the MANTIS shooting training app is mounted on a flexible red tripod with white-tipped legs. The app screen shows a shot tracking interface with a radar-style display, trajectory path, and an efficiency score of 63.8. The phone is positioned on what appears to be a dark surface in an indoor environment.
    A military instructor in USMC digital camouflage uniform is demonstrating pistol handling technique to a classroom of seated Marines. The instructor, who has visible tattoos on his arms, is extending a handgun in a two-handed grip stance as part of what appears to be a weapons training or marksmanship instruction session. The audience of approximately 15-20 personnel in military uniforms are attentively observing the demonstration.
    A person wearing U.S. Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is closely inspecting a training/simulation rifle equipped with a red magazine and an M7 laser training device attachment. The weapon appears to be a MILES (Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System) or similar force-on-force training system, identifiable by the laser emitter and red training magazine. The setting appears to be an indoor training facility.
    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is aiming a rifle with an optical scope and a red training magazine in an indoor facility. At least two other Marines in the same uniform are visible in the background. The setting appears to be a training or equipment demonstration environment.
    The image shows a pair of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses resting on a white fabric surface. The glasses feature two circular lenses with distinct blue and yellow-green tinted coatings, a thick dark blue frame, and what appears to be a small camera or sensor mounted on the bridge. A second, darker device is partially visible and out of focus in the background.
    An indoor demonstration or training session featuring augmented reality (AR) headsets and simulated firearms. Two civilians in black shirts wearing AR/mixed reality glasses are handling what appears to be a rifle simulator, while military personnel in camouflage uniforms observe in the background. A shooting target poster is visible on the wall, suggesting this is a weapons training simulation technology demonstration.
    Two U.S. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms are conducting an augmented reality (AR) training exercise indoors, wearing AR headsets and aiming rifles. The setting appears to be a military facility hallway or common area, with a vending machine and water fountain visible in the background. The system in use appears to be the ARES (Augmented Reality Enhanced Soldier) training platform, indicated by a QR-style marker on the vending machine.
    Two individuals wearing digital camouflage uniforms (consistent with USMC MARPAT pattern) are participating in what appears to be an augmented or mixed reality training exercise in an indoor corridor. Both are equipped with head-mounted display devices and are holding simulated weapon controllers with cables attached. The setting appears to be a training facility or office building repurposed for simulation-based tactical training.
