A realistic documentary-style video set at a U.S. military training range during winter.
A U.S. soldier finishes a demanding training session and sits down briefly on a low concrete barrier or training obstacle.
He removes his gloves, exhales heavily, and wipes sweat from his face despite the cold air.
After a short pause, the soldier looks toward the camera and offers a brief New Year greeting in his own words, spoken in a tired but sincere tone, without fixed lines or rehearsed dialogue.
The moment feels unplanned, as if recorded between training blocks, not a formal greeting.
The background shows an open training area, scattered equipment, and other soldiers moving in the distance.
Natural lighting, handheld camera feel, muted colors, no cinematic effects or dramatic framing.
Vertical 9:16 frame, raw, authentic military training realism.
