Soldiers from the Chillicothe-based 1194th Engineer

description

Summary

Soldiers from the Chillicothe-based 1194th Engineer Company take aim at a target, April 20, at the Camp Perry Joint Training Center near Port Clinton, Ohio. Weapon’s qualification is an annual event for all soldiers. For a soldier to qualify on their assigned weapon, they have to hit at least 23 targets out of 40 within a certain amount of time and 40 allowed shots. The targets are of a varying distance, from 50 meters to 300 meters. The soldiers must shoot 20 shots from a supported position, 10 shots from an unsupported position, and 10 shots kneeling. During weapons qualification, everyone, no matter what their job title, gets a chance to fire and qualify with their assigned weapons. This allows a soldier to stay familiar with their weapon if they are ever called into wartime service. (Ohio National Guard photo by Spc. Brian Johnson, 1194th Eng. Company)

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.
