The Big Picture. The New First Team
Description
In this classic episode of the U.S. Army’s The Big Picture series, the history of the First Cavalry Division is chronicled in World War II and Korea. Subsequent scenes highlight the need—and eventual development—of a different kind of fighting force: the First Cavalry Division Airmobile. Featuring footage provided by the National Archives and Records Administration, this historical recording examines how one airmobile division provided four times the airlift of an infantry division and had the ability to put 1/3 of its 16,000 fighting men into the air at a time with their equipment.
