    U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Cooper Ross, a service level training instructor with Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group, Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, operates a small Unmanned Aerial System during Counter-sUAS training as part of Service Level Training Exercise 4-26 at Range 215, MCAGCC, Twentynine Palms, California, July 14, 2026. With the debut of C-sUAS lanes at the Combat Center, Marines recognize and respond to unmanned aerial threats by employing emerging tactics, techniques, procedures, and maintaining a C-sUAS mindset in every operation, all while preserving the fundamentals that make rifle squads survivable and lethal. SLTE is a premier training event that ensures the Marine Corps remains a highly lethal, adaptable force capable of dominating the future multi-domain fight. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

    A military briefing or training session is underway in a dimly lit conference room. A presenter in military camouflage uniform stands near a projected slide titled 'Agenda' marked 'UNCLASSIFIED', addressing a room full of uniformed military personnel seated at tables. The agenda slide lists several topics including UAS-related subjects and planning considerations.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated at tables in what appears to be a classroom or briefing room setting. The foreground subject, a young male service member, is actively writing in a notebook with a pen. The image captures a training or instructional session, likely within a military educational environment.
    A column of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms and full combat gear marches in single file through an arid desert landscape. In the background, a cluster of low-rise buildings consistent with a military training compound or mock village is visible, set against rocky desert mountains. The scene strongly suggests a military training exercise in a desert environment.
    A group of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are conducting what appears to be a training exercise in an arid desert environment. One standing individual, without a helmet, appears to be an instructor or leader giving directional hand signals to the kneeling soldiers. The terrain is flat, sandy, and sparse with rocky outcroppings visible in the background.
    A person wearing military camouflage clothing is operating a radio transmitter/remote control unit, identifiable as a Radiomaster or similar brand TX16S SUPER model. The individual has a gray/blue wristband and is manipulating the control sticks and switches on the device. The close-up shot focuses on the hands and controller, with the background blurred.
    A military service member wearing USMC MARPAT desert camouflage uniform is operating an FPV (First Person View) drone using a handheld radio controller. He is wearing Fat Shark FPV goggles, which provide a live video feed from the drone's camera. The setting appears to be near a military vehicle or shelter structure.
    A military instructor or observer wearing an orange safety vest marked '3D' addresses a group of approximately 15-20 soldiers positioned on a rocky desert hillside. The soldiers are equipped with full combat gear, weapons, and helmets, suggesting this is a training exercise or after-action review. The arid, rocky terrain is consistent with a desert training environment such as those found in the American Southwest.
    A group of military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are conducting a patrol or training exercise across an arid, rocky desert landscape. Several individuals wearing orange safety vests are visible among the group, suggesting this is a supervised training exercise rather than a combat operation. The terrain features sparse desert vegetation, rocky outcroppings, and distant mountain ranges consistent with a Southwestern U.S. training environment.
    A bright green quadcopter drone is captured mid-flight against a partly cloudy blue-grey sky. The drone appears to be carrying a small white package or payload on top of its body, suggesting a delivery or transport function. The rotors are visibly blurred due to their spinning motion, indicating active flight.
