description

Summary

German army Master Sgt. Phieler, 5. Fallschirmjagerbataillon 263, jumpmaster, instructs American soldiers on exiting procedures for airborne jumps during Operation Toy Drop, Pope Army Air Field, N.C., Dec. 7, 2012. 2012 marks the 15th year for the Randy Oler Memorial Operation Toy Drop which collects toy donations for children and families in need and gives paratroopers the opportunity to jump with foreign jumpmasters. Soldiers donate a new toy in exchange to jump with a foreign jumpmaster and earn foreign jump wings. This year, OTD has expanded from its traditional focus around Fort Bragg, N.C., to select cities around the country. OTD is a Fort Bragg airborne tradition. Operation Toy Drop
combines thousands of toys, Army paratroopers, hundreds of volunteers, dozens of allied military personnel, and more than a dozen Air Force aircraft, all for what has become the world's largest combined airborne operation.

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.
