Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's "The Big Picture" television series, 1950-1975. "More Sweat; Less Blood". That's the motto of the soldier in training today. The Army's training for combat is rugged and for good reason. The better trained a man is the better he will perform in actual combat. THE BIG PICTURE takes you to the training camps, to maneuvers in the United States, Europe and Alaska where actual combat is simulated; Secretary Pace talks to soldiers training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, as he inspects the training program there.
