The Big Picture. I Am a Soldier / National Archives and Records Service.
This classic episode from the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series focuses on the fundamental building block of the Army: the individual soldier. "From everywhere across the nation, I come to become part of the Army that defends America. I must learn to handle the awesome striking power of 20th-century weapons, from rifle to rockets. I must learn to function at 30 degrees below zero or in steaming jungle heat and to travel by foot, or truck, or helicopter, or parachute, or even rocket belt. I learn to be a leader, a teacher, a technician, a linguist, a diplomat in uniform working with free world allies in every corner of the Earth. Today's global Army has thousands of tasks to perform, and I must be able to do them all. That is my mission, and this is my story".
