Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). Recently ...Exercise Swiftstrike ...a maneuver serving many purposes, was conducted in North and South Carolina. This week's THE BIG PICTURE cameras take you to three fictitious nations created for this particular exercise. In this maneuver the largest airborne operation ever organized in peacetime is undertaken, utilizing the capabilities of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. These two ready forces of the Strike Command are pitted against each other in a realistic test of readiness and striking power. Exercise Swiftstrike offers an excellent opportunity to measure how well a unified command can operate in a dual service effort for our nation's defense.
