A squad of US Marines participate in Operation Urban Express - a major urban combat exercise - during the mid-1990s in this artwork by Napalm Deliveryman. This is quite reminiscent of Operation Urban Warrior, the real-world urban warfare planning and testing exercise conducted by the United States Marine Corps in the mid-1990s. Note the prototype urban camouflage variant of the then-in-service US Woodland pattern.
Members of the Armed Forces of the Midland Coalition (AFMC) scramble around a rooftop attempting to prep a FIM-92 MANPAD while an angry Czech Mi-24V stares them down - weapons systems prepped - in this tense image by POLPLOX.
