    A military service member operates a tan/desert-colored military forklift or rough-terrain telehandler on a dirt surface in what appears to be a southwestern U.S. landscape. The vehicle is carrying large X-shaped steel anti-vehicle barriers (commonly known as Czech hedgehogs or dragon's teeth) on its forks. The setting features arid terrain, distant mountains, and large cumulus clouds in a blue sky.

    Military personnel in camouflage uniforms and tactical gear are installing concertina (razor) wire along a border barrier consisting of rust-colored steel bollards. The soldiers are working between the existing fence and newly placed concrete jersey barriers, extending the wire in a coiled tunnel formation. The scene depicts an active border security fortification operation in an arid, desert environment.
