The mid-July sun hammered down on the deserted fire pit, lighting the dust stirred by an approaching military jeep. Two figures climbed out, their camouflage uniforms a stark, disciplined contrast to the rough camp surroundings. One was lanky, a beanie pulled low over his eyes; the other was compact, radiating a coiled intensity. They moved in synchronized steps, flanking a large German Shepherd in a tactical vest. The air thickened with the weight of military order as the taller man stepped forward, the dog breathing heavily beside him, poised to narrow the gap between warfare and summer camp.
