Big Picture: The Army's 82nd Airborne
Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The famous 82nd Airborne Division. This film will show what makes the rugged individual click. Captured is the cockiness, the courage and the esprit of the entire division. Some of the WW II shots of this famous division will be included, and bring back the memories of many of those who served with the fighting outfit that won plaudits from the entire free world. Included also will be the realistic training that is required of every man who would like to hear himself referred to as "trooper."
