Modest dwellings are seen and a power line pole, as well as a very tall power and/or communications tower. Two soldiers read their notes to another, sitting in an M8 armored car, who reports by radio phone. Another soldier also sits in the armored car. Several army vehicles move along an established road, followed by a jeep, backing along the road, closer to the camera.
