In a training room, two soldiers in camouflage uniforms sit at a table with rifles. A white soldier reads a manual. Next to him, another soldier looks through a rifle scope. Both have patches with the number 8; the left soldier also wears an American flag patch. Other soldiers in background.

Several soldiers in camouflage uniforms organize extensive military gear on a concrete lot. A drill sergeant in a brown hat, facing left, talks to a soldier holding a helmet. Another soldier on the right adjusts his helmet, while others sort through bags and equipment. Trees and a building are visible.
