Now to show you Park the big picture here's Master Sergeant Stuart qua.
With this issue up the big picture.
We are marking the end of March 6 you're a programming since the time when the big picture first went on the air.
There have been many.
Revolutionary changers in the organization of the army a strong and efficient of able to fight.
Any fall anytime and in place and on an entire is essential to our national safety today as it has been throughout our history the imposing array of responsibilities.
Which rest upon our army today are matched by its impressive accomplishments in the development.
Unemployment a powerful weapon streamlined organization anatomic probably on track in every hour.
Weapon with my training organization antarctica the army is developing back power parchment when sure that it will be able.
Got it from where when they are with the firepower.
Made a proper we have built our army.
Into a new streamline no income know and love new and powerful atomic weapons and other modern equipment.
And with the new cool capability army prepared to cope with the possibility of unlimited nuclear war as well as with the more likely contender 3 member local oppression the war in Korea haitian the development of this modern of Korea was called by.
Various Mac brushfire well in fact.
But to the man who fart where it was war.
The first big picture produced was a documentary about crucial period in our history and we are and a proud to present it again here now the first 40-day this story is hard to tell.
Painful.
Bizarre outfit was in training a few weeks ago some other boys were with us.
Not around anymore.
They were good man.
Good sold.
They learn to fight man that gets for fighting.
When it came it was like a sock in the bag ahead.
Career started rough first forty days were a battle for time for the.
Handful a man against an army is they were good man good soldiers and no story on the korean war can be told without seeing first how well they fought.
Against greater.
In the beginning there are only a couple companies in the twenty fourth division.
No brass bands at the airport two days before some others have been in cities spending we've time it.
Fuji's something like that we weren't scared we didn't know to get stuff on the plains we moved out.
Nobody said this is it nobody said you arrived in Korea to beat back by.
North Korean communist divisions somebody did say.
We're here to do later a red okay let's go.
About 10 percent of us were veterans.
Few roads look like france somewhere between Paris and med mostly the soldiers were young no battle experience a smile a lot.
They made a lot of us look like good-natured Yanks glad to see in Newtown.
Some of these boys unlisted travel.
Whoever sees travel posters about korea.
Relax come to the land of the Morning Calm.
At first the town's look like any town this part of the world a South Korean troops like any soldiers.
You know they worry about the same thing get tired.
Mean.
We all wanted to ask what was it like up there what kinda fighting.
Terrain tactics gun as far as we were concerned those Koreans couldn't talk we were in a completely foreign country no time to get acquainted into town idly thing where couldn't buy anything even if he had the time.
Which we didn't have.
There are two ways of getting to know the terrain walking over feeling out was enemy underneath it was.
K picky the.
Tools over soldiers trader shuttle and a gun.
We had small stuff with us machine guns howitzers it was hard to believe one to three were smack in the middle or.
Guns ready aim no against an enemy that would look exactly like your friends the south koreans.
These troops unseen action they didn't have to speak close bowed shoes.
Eyes we had said.
Like I said when it came it was fast and it was all around us through everything we answered we went ahead was like D-day no warning.
Those kid they became veterans overnight.
Tough hi there.
Removed as if they've been with us all to Germany.
There were too many North Koreans with too much heavy specially tanks kinmen with gots to against.
Tanks.
Bazooka was some defense but there were too many tanks into few bazookas day after day it was pullback in fighting in with too many you wouldn't know where they come from.
Rice paddies would like quiet we'd hide in the shadows trying to look like a.
About corn field or a rice paddy concealment was one of our weapons.
With too many boys pulled back tired as dogged because whenever they need to raise hand on the Reds had enough men to fight is on the front and I flanks to we know it was hard to face we were.
Three.
Kids would drag back so beat up they could be expected to fight really several days instead a week at a rest area.
We grabbed an hour anyway to the shower.
Sat down.
Lay down seem like the greatest pleasure in life was.
To give this feed a chance to pre we fell back to new position he looked around at some in the foxholes you could see it deep respect for those red mortars they're eating we were short on man.
South koreans carried our animal but we didn't know what some of the others were carrying turned out that many this island refugees.
Filing along the South Korean rose or north korean communists in disguise.
It sneaks who are lines fighters from mine.
We caught some bud infiltration goes plenty of casualties we were going to watch the refugees more carefully from now on.
This was a big police job in Korea.
Biggest the attack was for side had to be stopped.
United States Army a small part of it was here to help there'd be many another uniforms fighting with us so.
The whole world is seen this who went to school or work up near the guns the score was against the enemy they were losing points.
Losing time.
They were tough decisions we had leaders who could make general walker in general team as our outfits were winning they were rolling back the enemy until help could arrive we didn't do it yet but reinforcements runaway it takes time to poor defense program into a small country with almost nothing.
Not all the stuff can get there overnight even in an age when we used to things traveling for 500 miles an hour.
Oh we needed tanks and jeeps soon some other boys at the front could have heard the winches.
Ground at the port would have been.
Sweet music.
And it's something television maybe.
Could have shown us the soldiers were going to fight with us soon maybe it would have been easier as it was the outfits in the foxholes needed every have tracking howitzer and tank they could get.
And more and Amanda go with them here's our mission aligns was too late do either in drive in korea.
Delay it so we could get jeeps delayed sowing and weapons carriers.
In weapons more ammo get it to us.
Man and equipment where or dry because it was still rough going it would stay that way months maybe longer to another men would be in Korea to strike back.
Yes it was operation.
Lay.
Well as pressures one Field Artillery Battalion against forty tanks.
We all all for a few hours and I'm blasting frontal attack rates were in Celebuzz on both flanks.
Always trouble on my hand problems.
In.
He drew back River burned out bridges behind.
People in big cities like Pittsburgh are bothered by smoke smoke was black but it didn't bother us.
It.
Smoke can look good.
Wait it's where you want many times when the smoke was too close.
Guide me right so you couldn't see anything who can take a look when you buddies get hit it hits you.
Inside nobody says much just so-and-so God or.
So it's always been evacuated he'll be okay or.
So-and-so evacuated.
Back to us units on the 25th Infantry Division.
And the 1st Cavalry Division we're loading now with baggage khallid first-class urgent the tanks were like jobs they sped north where they are most needed.
Smaller than the Russian monsters but still.
Wonderful site.
Nothing was too good for a tank in this territory boys treated them like babies they went over the top to bottom call them pet names.
Clean them up better than for inspection its.
Cleaning their tanks and heavy armor to do a lot was their advantage.
Our advantage was.
Fine sharks.
They had giant we add change.
Jean works ask anyone we felt it the worst.
May be here a few other names as was banned all over most guys who say.
Tasia.
Some places we were just outnumbered presentation on we were outnumbered.
Gun out tanked and outflank we pushed out trying to poke a hole in their lines no go tried another direction but at the end of every road leading out a tease john.
With thousands of north korean troops plenty of t34 tank got kinda confusing.
It was one hot day 100 degrees we just sat was no place to go war not the way it is we were all tired including general be.
Flank attack said cut every escape route.
We gassed up ready for a mold we were supposed to hold a spot town for two days.
We have 3 it was get out or be trapped into Jean.
We've got for our.
General team stayed behind may still be there.
It was a bad road out okay john some guys.
Didn't pick.
Tease john was burning did to the man who got out where heroes the man who didn't get outgrew they were heroes.
There's no better.
By this time the new outfits were in the lines.
Fresh ready to shoot.
Everything ship just right nice to hear this state from your own lawn even nicer to you our teachers.
Slamming on Oct.
Together it Rick.
I'm around 10 5,000 per cent we and some pressure now we turn it on and.
Forced electric.
At a time like this frontline child tasted better than as another delay.
A rally with short.
One out might do okay for a day but on that same day.
5 other sections in the front line would be feeling the enemy's hard blows.
Envelopment infiltration so our strongest attacks were by patrols small group.
Battered by the enemy beaten by the mountains.
Falling down.
After climbing over half a dozen mountains.
It made you more tired just to look at felt like the bear who went over the mountain and so.
Another mom.
Getting anywhere in Korea was backbreaking work.
You did the Korean Way slowly you with a bulldozer nope push-pull.
Click click appeared to throw a bridge across a stream in for five hours.
Every rock at it up.
Even the little one you were to three days to put an outfit on the other side of the stream the rainy season and the koreans superhighways didn't help us get around wherever we went we build our way it was no having any great with the engineers they have their own from knew where the engineer in this battle you did everything bill.
Fight who call back and destroyed.
Whenever we were about to leave a place we planted.
Carefully.
TNT.
Planted not be just deepen our so it would come up the way we wanted.
Beria planted better it comes home.
Second-story Journal is kinda gardening when on quite frequently very relaxing work we were going to stall them up and down the whole front and someday there'd be a turnabout that would pay those north koreans offer what we've been taking.
And then we might have to put back all these bridges we slowed but we couldn't stop use fighting rough but it's rougher when you're forced to pull back.
We use them ground time we used every barrier every river to make a stand it was the best way of stating man they beat us back to the neck down.
We got there early enough to make it across connect on was a pretty useful River.
No King ever and a moat around his.
Castles so why improve take it sound like a new division within the line.
Many outgoing mail went across the neck down where.
Have you seen combat you know what it is they have a line place to fight.
Well for the first time in his career in business.
We had something we could call online.
All during the fighting we had airpower.
Spearheaded we might have been airpower did plenty of damage to everything the enemy have been wanted to bring up.
Guys so low they should have had bayonets on the propellers in a corner of Korea a little bigger than a beach and we drvn build a village in foxholes only hear you couldn't dig too deep phonic on the rocks on this beach and a lot of the boys who flew in at the beginning we're still around.
Deals my there is waiting in every war.
Time to find out where you were are you doing.
We face the enemy we faced I sell.
Our enemies were fanatic we were believed.
In one be that men can live together peacefully.
Thinking feeling worshiping each in his own way.
You couldn't think about anything for very long when you were planning new moves new delaying tactic.
We pull down the bridges we wrecked the road.
Speed kills around us were rugged we need a more rugged the enemy beyond our park souls we on loan some vines our own with toward.
And beyond but I bring along perimeter.
The enemy closed in pushing as hard.
Threatening that deathblow throw us back into the sea.
How long battle.
On and then.
Swung to us.
Great force reached Korea in a new strategy.
The game the North Korean army a battle from three sides at once replace new units lively ready for bed.
Based along the hughes slipped up the ridges looking for a soft spot.
The enemy's hardship.
Week gave it Danny all up and down the line.
All in one here dusty smokey this was widely used again when we first hit Korea victory never comes easily.
Have to be in a fight to see out companies cron attack guys stumble back meeting others to look after them.
Always plenty of trouble it takes me she to knock out a strong enemy.
And as you go forward you can expect to lose some of those who start out with you.
Here somewhere.
Back 15 heavy years step slow kids who became an.
Man whose hollow Facebook show that they've been in the lines too long.
You can't count on a straight road to victory sometimes it wines.
Goes down goes up sometimes you're forced to.
Be too.
You could pick out the new troops a walk different another object but if you given the once-over.
They were like the fellas an hour of it when we landed same smiling making a base to everything.
And a little better than that we battled for time in Korea and one.
We have the right man good man.
Show.
Since the signing the truce agreement upon one drop our army has undergone radical change changes which will let a strike back.
Faster more forcefully should another brushfire war breakup anywhere in the world now there's a sergeant Stuart wing.
