National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569804 / Local Identifier 111-TV-570 Big Picture: Communications Zone (COMZ) DVD Copied by 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). International film star Jean Pierre Aumont host-narrates the little-known story of the U.S. Army's vast European logistical network, COMZ (Communications Zone), U.S. Army, Europe. From America, through the ports of Holland, France, Germany, and Italy flow the tens of thousands of items needed to keep the U.S. Army tactical forces prepared for any threat. Missiles, fuel, food, guns, tanks and many other items each day are routed rapidly from deck to depot and from depot to military user; that's one part of the story of how COMZ meets the enormous challenge of supplying and equipping an entire army on assignment in western Europe.
