The cameras enter the Offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff where policies of the Defense Department are carried out, and all activities of the Armed Forces are planned and directed. Footage has been chosen from Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps sources. It is both dramatic and forceful in its content.
