A man in Middle Eastern clothing runs frantically across the sand, but he is not quick enough and is bought down by an attack dog which snaps its muzzled jaws at his face.
Elsewhere a dummy in flowing robes is targeted by a crack sniper before its watermelon head explodes as a bullet hits.
The visceral scenes played out on Virginia Beach on America's east coast are a demonstration of the work of the Navy SEALs.
The 'capabilities exercise' was played out over a weekend (17 July) as part of a yearly reunion of 6,000 active and retired members of the elite naval special operations force.
