Watch The Big Picture - Military Assistance Program: Part II, Far East

Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's THE BIG PICTURE television series, 1950-1975. With an informative commentary by Alexander Scourby, this THE BIG PICTURE, reviews our Military Assistance Program in the Far East. From Pakistan to Korea, American military aid is essential to the defense of our allies. Like the nations of Europe, Africa, and Latin America which also receive our aid, the free nations of Asia continue to remain free in the face of threatened military aggression. American equipment, training, and advice contribute significantly toward this worldwide deterrent to Communist expansion.
