description

Summary

Marines with Marine Wing Support Squadron 172, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, load a Joint Precision Airdrop System onto an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft during an aerial delivery exercise at IE Shima Training Facility, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 2, 2019. The JPAD uses GPS, steerable parachutes, and an onboard computer to steer loads to a designated point of impact on a drop zone, allowing the MEU to effectively resupply units on the ground. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps' only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.

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.
