    Several people are moving large tires in a desert/arid environment along a chain-link fence next to an abandoned or deteriorated building with graffiti. The activity appears to be either a cleanup effort or a physical fitness exercise. The setting is dry and sandy with sparse desert vegetation.

    U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Brigade Engineer Battalion, 1st Armored Division, roll recovered tires across the desert terrain to a central staging point during Operation Desert Tread in the Red Sands South area near El Paso, Texas, Aug. 26, 2026. The interagency effort with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office aimed to collect approximately 2,000 illegally dumped tires, clearing public desert land while repurposing the debris as tactical training obstacles on Fort Bliss.

    A large group of approximately 50-60 individuals poses for a group photograph in an arid, desert-like outdoor setting. The group includes military personnel in camouflage uniforms, law enforcement officers, and civilians in casual attire. Two large military-style vehicles are visible in the background, suggesting this may be a joint training exercise, community event, or operational briefing.
    A U.S. Army soldier in OCP camouflage uniform and a civilian in a navy shirt are collaborating to load or unload used tires onto a flatbed military trailer marked 'TP 115'. The activity appears to take place in an arid, desert-like environment under a partly cloudy sky. The operation likely involves tire collection, disposal, or redistribution efforts.

    Two individuals are working together to move or position a large truck tire in a desert/arid environment. A man wearing a red cap, black t-shirt, and cargo shorts is guiding the tire while a younger person assists from behind. The setting appears to be a community cleanup or construction project in a dry, scrubland area.
