On and off-duty Soldiers of the 34th Red Bull Infantry

description

Summary

On and off-duty Soldiers of the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division assist with flood response efforts on Camp Arifjan in Kuwait. Historic rainfall and flooding in Kuwait has tormented the region over the last week. As the desert ground struggles to absorb rainwater, storms persist. In the last 24 hours, Kuwait received more rainfall than the country experiences in a typical year. Roads, including dozens of major highways, and airport flightlines in Kuwait have closed, leaving many travelers stranded. Red Bull Soldiers, who are stationed at Camp Arifjan while deployed in support of Task Force Spartan, have been working around the clock to mitigate the water’s effects. Flash flooding throughout the camp has led to various difficulties, including standing water in living quarters, collapsed walking paths, and some facility closures.

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.
