Big Picture: Defense of Japan
DVD
copied by Katie Filbert. 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). The departure of many
American troops from the Far East is part of a major change in U.S.
strategy. In this film presentation, the story of Japan's defense is
told. Back in the post-war years, the United States provided American
instructors to help the Japanese police in their training. THE BIG
PICTURE shows in a similar way, how we are guiding a new Japanese
military organization, so that it may become capable of undertaking the
difficult responsibility of National Defense. The Soviet threat to our
West is being met by helping Japan defend itself and by standing behind
her with our own forces in the event of Soviet attack.
