| Summary: | From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975. "This week, cameras move from the USSTRICOM War Room at McDill Air Force Base Florida halfway around the world on a typical STRIKE mission -- to stop a simulated brushfire war before it can spread. Airborne troopers from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina and Air Force fighters, tankers, and troop carriers from airfields all over the U.S. form a swiftly moving "Fire Brigade." This is "Strike Command," able to move in hours to any trouble spot on the globe. Army and Air Force under a single command ready to show our flag and stop an aggressor."--National Archives and Records Administration. |
