Japan is the key to the fate of the Far East. Once again for the second time in the march of modern history those words have urgent reality. But now there is a difference in their meaning. THE BIG PICTURE cameras focus on the United States Army which has come to know Japan well in recent years -- in war, in occupation, and finally, in partnership. In the record of that relationship there can be found the changing symbol of Japan's place in the Far East. Once it was a symbol of destruction. Today we look upon it with hope as a symbol of stability.

Signal Corps cameramen cover our participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a new and revolutionary development in American history. This is a factual report with swiftly moving scenes and exciting narrative on how our country, in the last forty years, has thrown its full economic and military power into a deadly struggle to prevent the triumph of a dangerous aggressor in Western Europe. Never before has this country committed herself to go to the aid of a country outside this hemisphere under attack--never before have we received similar guarantees from other countries. In this film presentation, viewers learn how the morale and self confidence of European peoples and their armies have risen far above the low level of 1949, thereby taking much of the steam out of communist propaganda.

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. Since its founding in April, 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has well proved its power for peace. It is a calm, studious approach to peace. Never before in history have Europe's rival nations formed such a working alliance. NATO-land is composed of 14 different nations with a combined Army seven million strong. Although NATO's buildup is almost done, this achievement required vast effort during 1954--a succession of training exercises conducted throughout Europe. This is a pictorial report on the NATO maneuvers of 1954. Beginning in March with Exercise Medflex Able which was held in the Mediterranean Sea near Gibraltar, these maneuvers were scheduled periodically throughout the year. Exercise Keystone in September was the year's largest maneuver and NATO cameramen followed the action which began near the Achilles Line in Northern Greece. Viewers will also follow the gigantic land maneuver, Exercise Indian Summer, held in the U.S. zone of Germany. Participating here are the 1st French Armored Division, the U.S. 1st and 4th Infantry Divisions and the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. In this exercise, both sides have the American-built 280 millimeter atomic cannon.
