Big Picture: Army Transportation Corps
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). We follow the supplies from the factory to the depot in the U.S., to the port to the front line unit in Korea. We show the Port of Embarkation, small boats, the ducks, the rail lines, the trucks. And we show a new development of the TC... the helicopter transportation company in training.

My first A.D. unit was Ft. Story,Va. We had the big brother of the BARC, the LARCV 60. We also had the air cushion craft, LACV30. My unit was a bulk issue POL, we supplied fuel. During DS/DS our company issued 21 million gallons of fuel to the forward units. They might have been old stuff but it all looks familiar.
