The image depicts an outdoor scene in Mandisar, Afghanistan, under clear blue skies. In the foreground, the right shoulder and arm of an individual in a dark uniform are visible, adorned with a circular blue and gold emblem patch. This individual is holding an AK-47 style assault rifle with a wooden foregrip and a curved magazine, pointed downwards and to the left. Approximately 50 to 70 adult males are seated on unpaved, dry ground, arranged in rows or groups. Most are dressed in traditional Afghan clothing, including shalwar kameez and various forms of headwear, and many are holding white papers or documents. In the background, a tall, modular tan concrete blast wall stretches horizontally across the scene. To the right, another armed individual in a dark uniform stands guard against the blast wall, holding a rifle and a large white board or sign. Bright daylight casts distinct shadows on the ground.
