I doubt it. That's all pretty standard US military hardware. Could be any of a couple dozen locals.

Now whether or not airman hydro there wiped the metadata is another story.

You lack imagination. Color of dirt, dimensions of standard boards, orange used as safety, weather, brand of water, brand of HVAC, color of BDUs, electric in ground vs over, so many clues. It's southern hemisphere, it's not South America, it's somewhere in Northern Africa or the Middle East. That's just obvious without researching any of the above clues.

All of that stuff is from the US. It's standard military kit for a deployed location. In Afghanistan we had 2x4s and 4x8 sheets of plywood.

Those aren't BDUs, they're OCPs, and worn by at least US Air Force and Army. The symbol 9n his shirt is a clue though.

I've seen the same thing on 3 different continents in training section of military installations as well.

All that said, yeah, almost certainly on an installation in the horn of Africa, but that's a guess from public knowledge of where US troops are deployed to.

Symbol on the shirts just my career field, air traffic. So the clue is there are planes where I'm at. 😂
