Big Picture: Airborne Soldier
HISTORY OF AIRBORNE SOLDIER TOLD ON "THE BIG PICTURE" -- Here is a film documentary tracing the evolution of the foot soldier into the airborne soldier. It describes the various forms of transportation the fighting man has used to give him increased mobility and speed of movement. "Airborne Soldier" (TV-450) is an exciting spectacle. It recaptures tumultuous days in the past two decades when paratroopers have been used repeatedly with great success in global conflicts and in limited "police actions." Credit goes to the men of airborne units for the vital missions they performed in World War II and in Korea. More recently, airborne soldiers were deployed in preventive actions and crises such as the Lebanon incident. This is shock action at its best on film for the Army's weekly television program. It is an absorbing study of highly trained fighting men who jump into combat. STRAC, the Strategic Army Corps, is examined at close range by the camera. Here is a picked group of the Army's finest trained, most seasoned battle troops, capable of aerial deployment of major striking forces anywhere in the world, combat ready and capable of aerial re-supply.

Love these old military shows
Brilliant a true gem! thanks for posting.
Remember watching these big picture reports as a 1950s child on Long Island New York.
I remember seeing these shows on TV on a Saturday morning during the late 1950's very early 60's

LOVE AND RESPECT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY
LOVED WATCHING THE TV SERIES RERUNS OF "COMBAT"
22:54, Special Forces, Hell Yeah!
25:26 If you tell doctors at the VA that Psychological Warfare is a thing then they declare you mental. We sure have fallen a long way since this video was made.
Psychological Operations is literally an MOS
Pleae keep posting these. Awesome!
Thank you! I knew he resembled someone famous, but I couldn't think of the name.
This video is so tactical unsound. It is like watching a bunch of kids playing war.
Rough landings suck! Night jumps are very hazardous too. The modern paratrooper jumps with more equipment in training now for future combat. I have had a lot of hard landings but that is our job as paratroopers. As a paratrooper, you are an elite soldier because your body is another means of a controlled or uncontrolled landing of equipment and weapons. Not everybody becomes and paratrooper. All other elite units above the Airborne soldier has to be parachute qualified first like the paratrooper.
I wonder who thought up the Buck Rogers helmets?
Those were 'opfor" helmets used for training. Had a crest attched to make them distintive at low cost. Still shown in TMs in early 80s when I was in.
Now they question the guy in the air an chuck him out after if he doesn't answer
M1's and BAR's. Gotta love that..
4:13...no wounded and dead making the return trip....

Robert Hill I didn't notice that! You're right! Director and actor though.
Or actor Melvin Douglas. Sorta...

Can you say Vietnam War...1962 to 1975.
Why are so few African American soldiers depicted in these old videos?😮
Nothing about Market-Garden!
weddanweddan Or all the earlier jumps in N Africa, New Guinea, Corregidor, etc. Get over it you know it all wanker. It was about the airborne troops at that time.
12: 30 So - in Spain, USA would support Franco against Republic... Well done, citizens of a free world... well done!
Some individuals helped the republic. A lot of them were communists. US was neutral during the civil war. Post war we used questionable regimes against communists.The enemy of my enemy is my friend" has come back to bite us at times.
