    Two armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms are positioned at the corner of a green metal shipping container structure, aiming rifles outward in a tactical formation. One soldier is crouching low while the other stands behind in a doorway, both pointing M4-style rifles with orange/yellow muzzle caps indicating training/blank-fire adapters. This appears to be a military training exercise involving urban or close-quarters combat drills.

    A Soldier from the Oklahoma Army National Guard and the Malaysian Army’s 5th Infantry Division take aim at enemy positions during a force-on-force exercise during Keris Strike 26 near Kota Belud, Malaysia, July 22, 2026. Also known as tactical engagement simulations, force-on-force exercises use laser transmitters (like MILES) and blank ammunition to realistically simulate direct-fire engagements in a field environment. Keris Strike incorporates warfighting battle drills to build interoperability among American, Australian and Malaysian forces, showcasing the U.S. Army’s commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.(U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
