Summary

Armed with blank rounds and paint grenades, Pfc. Dwight D. Plowright (right), a Miami native serving as a cavalry scout for Troop B, 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade and a soldier from the Estonian Scoutspataljon (Single Scouts Infantry Battalion) aim their weapons downrange as they prepare to assault an enemy foxhole July 16 in Paldiski, Estonia. The scouts and paratroopers worked together to achieve mission success in this tactical simulation that culminated into a stress-shoot competition that tested the soldiers’ strength, speed, endurance and marksmanship. Competing teams had opportunities to learn about each other’s weaponry, equipment and squad-level tactics. Approximately 600 paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne are in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve to demonstrate commitment to NATO obligations and sustain interoperability with allied forces.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
