    Three soldiers in full combat gear and helmets observe a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft hovering directly overhead at low altitude. Debris and vegetation are visibly being blown around by the rotor wash. The scene appears to be a military training exercise or tactical insertion/extraction operation in an open field.

    U.S. Army Soldiers, assigned to Bravo Battery, 3rd Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, watch a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey as it moves close enough for them to connect an M777 during sling-load training at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Aug. 19, 2026. The training validates joint capabilities and enhances warfighting readiness in preparation for Long-Range Maritime Air Assault Operations. The 25th Infantry Division maintains combat-ready forces capable of rapid maneuver and the employment of combat power across the Pacific. (U.S. Army Photo by Spc. Jose Nunez)

    Three soldiers in full combat gear and helmets observe a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft hovering directly overhead at low altitude. Debris and vegetation are visibly being blown around by the rotor wash. The scene appears to be a military training exercise or tactical insertion/extraction operation in an open field.
    A tiltrotor aircraft, identifiable as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured in flight with its rotors in helicopter mode. The aircraft is performing an external sling load operation, carrying a piece of equipment or machinery suspended beneath its fuselage via a cargo net and rigging system. The overcast sky provides a neutral background, and the image is sharp and well-composed.
    Four military personnel in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniforms are engaged in a briefing or debrief on an open field with mountains visible in the background. One individual, wearing a flight suit and holding a white aviation helmet, appears to be a pilot or aircrew member speaking with ground soldiers. The setting suggests a landing zone or airfield area during a training exercise or operational mission.
    Two V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft are visible in a tropical field setting. One Osprey is grounded on a grass landing zone with its rear ramp open and rotors spinning, while a second Osprey hovers overhead conducting an external sling load operation with a suspended cargo load. The lush green vegetation and mountainous background suggest a tropical or Pacific island environment.
    A group of approximately eight military personnel in full combat gear are disembarking from a V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft on a grassy field. The soldiers are armed with assault rifles and equipped with tactical vests, helmets, and eye protection. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical environment based on the lush green vegetation visible in the background.
    A U.S. Marines MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft (bureau number 8033, side number 04) hovers at low altitude over a grassy field. A soldier in camouflage uniform stands beneath or near the aircraft next to what appears to be an artillery piece or heavy weapon system. The scene suggests a military training exercise or sling-load/fire support coordination operation in a tropical or subtropical environment.
    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms are positioned around what appears to be an M777 lightweight howitzer artillery piece on an open grassy field. A V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, marked with the number '05', is hovering low overhead, likely conducting a sling-load or air assault exercise. The setting appears to be a tropical or subtropical training area, consistent with locations such as Hawaii.
