Not much cover.
Looks like they are really hesitant to move forward.
Good thinking/survival.

Some one or something (Weapons cannister maybe) had a prickly landing in the tree in the foreground center Left. They are all to the left of the tree trunks a suggestion fire is coming from perhaps center right.
Trees are the only "cover" they have.
Hope they are hard (really hard!) trees.

I suppose your right Jim but in all honesty anything is better than nothing when the lead flies are buzzing about may stop a 7.92 round but not a hope if they are facing a quad 20mm.....................
A small tree may only be concealment and not cover but I damn sure wouldn't pass it up
Better up against a tree trunk than sticking out like dog's balls out in the open.
"anything is better than nothing when the lead flies are buzzing"
For sure... and it will stop a puny MP40 round or grenade shrapnel, so why not. BTW, an M1 will kill you on the other side of an 18" pine tree.
