The original release sheet reads: In October of 1963, the largest trans-oceanic Army-Air Force deployment ever made was translated from blueprint into fact...This was "Exercise Big Lift"- a maneuver whose scope challenged military minds and fired the imagination of the entire country. Big Lift was designed to prove the U.S. military capability of quickly dispatching joint strike forces anywhere in the world. This week's THE BIG PICTURE, "Point of the Spear," takes the viewer every step of the way in this exciting peacetime military adventure.
