| Summary: | From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975. "Now accepted as an essential part of the fighting team on the ground, tanks were once considered impractical and ineffective. This episode records the slow evolution of today's rugged, reliable, hard-hitting, mobile forces. Authentic combat footage shows the successful employment of armored vehicles in World War II and in Korea. An indication of what lies ahead is also given with a view of the most modern armored vehicles being tested at Army proving grounds."--National Archives and Records Administration. |
