Lance Cpl. Hayden Parker, rifleman, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, and a native of Florence, Ariz., provides security for his fire team during an Urban Operations exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Jan. 9, 2014. The training area tested the Marines’ knowledge and skills on operations in austere conditions. The range portrayed how an urban battlefield may look in a combat environment.

UO can be more dangerous than an open battlefield because Marines have the possibility of close quarter combat that puts them face-to-face with the enemy. It requires Marines to be extra cautious and aware of their environment

Each building is designed differently to offer an unpredictable layout that Marines would normally experience in UO. The rooms are filled with distracting elements including holes in the walls, open ceilings and multiple doorways

The GBU-10 Paveway II is an laser guided unit that is usally attatched to a MK84 2,000lb(907kg) bomb.

I can tell by the blue color that particular MK84 2,000lb(907kg) bomb is inert. However that fuse coupled with kinetic energy created when that bomb is dropped creates a lethal weapon. When that fuse splits that bomb apart it will create fragments that will kill the smallest cockroach.

Hey Popeye, for the 3 picture with the Abram tank, what is that big thing on the tank. I can see a remote gun on top but the optics look pretty huge

You just answered your own question. That entire turret is the CROWS II or Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station... which is the gun and all the optics associated with it including TV, FLIR, NV etc. Similar systems are being fitted to all the latest Gen tanks including the M1A2 SEP, Strykers, Leopard 2 A7 etc. It's useful in urban warfare.
