National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569536 / Local Identifier 111-TV-266 Big Picture: Exercise Flash Burn 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). In recent months, in the press, over the radio, and on television, the American people have heard of the new and awesome developments in warfare which put modern muscle in the Army. Such muscle is the 280mm cannon, the Honest John artillery rocket and the Corporal, a long-range guided missile. Such modern muscle is tactical television and air delivery of masses of men and their equipment. In "Exercise Flash Burn" viewers see what happens when our forces are attacked by an aggressor and how these weapons are employed on the battlefield. For this issue THE BIG PICTURE takes its audience to a deserted area in North Carolina for the answer.
