    A camouflage-painted military amphibious vehicle is traversing a body of water, likely during a training exercise. In the background, a large industrial or military warehouse building is visible along with utility poles, trees, and what appears to be a military equipment storage yard. The setting suggests a military installation conducting amphibious operations training.

    An M973 Small Unit Support Vehicle three-quarters of the way across Engineer Lake at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, July 26. The SUSV was built to operate in the extreme cold of Alaska and traverse the harsh snow and muskeg marshy land of the far north. However, it was also designed with a bilge pump and the ability to float across water obstacles. (U.S. Army photo by Maj. Stefan Lockton, BTB operations officer)

    Two camouflage-painted military vehicles are fording a body of water, creating significant bow waves and wake. The vehicles appear to be amphibious or high-clearance military transport trucks navigating through what appears to be a river or lake crossing. The rear vehicle bears the marking 'AFL 5581' and additional unit identifiers.
    The image shows what appears to be a military flood response or water training exercise near a military installation. Two personnel in camouflage uniforms and life vests are paddling an inflatable rubber boat across flooded or river water, while a military HMMWV (Humvee) vehicle is partially submerged near the bank. A large motor of military vehicles, equipment, and a building are visible in the background.
