Film 1: The Big Picture: Operation Gyroscope (1954) B&W Runtime 28 Minutes Operation Gyroscope - the Army's new way of transporting entire units all over the world. Film 2: The Big Picture: Operation Sagebrush (1955) B&W Runtime 28 minutes This episode of "The Big Picture" observes the maneuvers as the Army tests their equipment and new combat ideas. In 1955 the U.S. military conducted a large training exercise that covered a substantial portion of Louisiana. Named Operation Sagebrush, the focus of this exercise was to evaluate the effectiveness of military operations in a nuclear environment. The exercise lasted for 15 days with 85,000 troops participating. A provisional army, meant to represent U.S. forces, was built around the 1st Armored Division and an opposing force was built around the 82nd Airborne Division. U.S. Air Force bombers and fighter planes also participated in this exercise with powerful aircraft operating in the sky, stirring great interest among the citizens of the region. Film 3: Big Picture: Operation Lead Dog (1960) B&W Runtime 27 Minutes In this presentation, The Big Picture takes viewers to the most northern body of land in the world to view the activities of Operation Lead Dog. A combined services effort conducted in cooperation with the Danish government and commanded by the Army Transportation Corps, Operation Lead Dog started in May of 1960. First, the Army explorers spanned the icecap from coast-to-coast before moving north beyond the areas covered by Peary's travels. The 65-day journey was designed to give the Transportation Corps a good opportunity for a rigid test of their polar vehicles for endurance and mobility. Other technical services made extensive equipment tests and gathered detailed data on the previously untouched polar regions. Archaeologists accompanying the expedition discovered the remains of a Paleo Eskimo camp, believed to be over four-thousand years old. Signal Corps photographers have dramatically filmed 20th century man's re-entry into the land where men fished and hunted more than two-thousand years ago. All films on this DVD are automatically Public Domain because they were made by the U.S. Military. I claim ownership and rights to this media. All the films on this DVD have been researched and are copyright free or the copyrights have expired due to non renewal.
