| Summary: | From the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series, 1950-1975. "Cameras focus on a non-com academy in Germany and the Berlin Horse Platoon. The skilled, well trained soldier in today's Army is no accident. He is the result of good leadership which stems from concentrated training such as that performed at the NCO Academy in Germany. Every Army leader is important--from the man who wears stars on his shoulder to the man who wears stripes on his sleeve. This first subject deals with the Army leader who comes in closest contact with the men--the one who can influence the soldier greatly--the non-commissioned officer. In theory and in practice, the non-com guides his men, tests them, corrects them and often has their safety in his hands. Training the non-com to be a good leader is a vital job, carried on in many Army schools in this country. But leadership abroad, wherever soldiers are stationed, is also important. To tell this story the camera crews of the Army's TV series traveled to the Seventh Army NCO Academy in Munich, Germany. The second subject in this film report deals with the Berlin Horse Platoon which has been viewed by many thousands of Berliners and visiting dignitaries from all over the world. This is another type of Army training which provides one of the most unique and colorful of your Army's activities."--National Archives and Records Administration. |
