National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569570 / Local Identifier 111-TV-300 Big Picture: Role of the Army DVD copied by Master Scanner Thomas Gideon. Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). For this release in Series XI, a dramatic film presentation has been prepared, entitled, "Role of the Army." Here is a documentary worthy of maximum publicity which depicts the position and responsibility of the United States Army in the nation's defense establishment. Should another war be forced upon this country, no matter how big the hydrogen bomb, no matter how many guided missiles are launched, the final winning of the war will still be the dirty business of soldier killing soldier. This is the theme of "Role of the Army." This era in which we live, burgeoning with new mighty weapons, does not mark any decline in the value of ground troops, nor does it raise any doubt that in a future war, the final decision will lie in the hands of the Army.
