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.

From the United States to Germany, Japan and back, the traveling camera crews record various scenes of the Army's activities around the world. The first story deals with the Code of Conduct for members of the Armed Forces of the United States. The Code is dramatically presented by a series of six posters. How these posters came into being is the basis for this report. The next coverage is given to "Operation Red Corpuscle," a story of giving. It concerns an entire company of men stationed in Germany, and how they, as a unit, gave their blood that others might live. Another story takes place in Japan. It is about milk and how this nourishing liquid, taken for granted here at home, reaches Army personnel five thousand miles away in the Far East. The final feature starts in the United States and is really unfinished, for the leading characters may soon find themselves serving in the most remote corners of the world. This is the story of the men who are learning to operate the Army's newest source of power -- derived from the atomic reactor.
