    A military training exercise is underway in an open field, featuring a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter hovering at low altitude with personnel visible in the open door. Two ground personnel are observing the operation, one clearly labeled 'INSTRUCTOR' on their jacket, while ropes hang from the helicopter suggesting a rappelling or fast-rope insertion/extraction (FRIES) exercise. Additional personnel can be seen in the background on the ground.
