Summary

Two private vehicles drive through a stretch of road cleared by U.S. Army Reserve soldiers assigned to the 471st Engineering Company, 448th Engineering Battalion, 210th Regional Support Group, based out of Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, near the town of Yauco, Puerto Rico, during Hurricane Maria relief efforts, Oct. 7, 2017. U.S. Army Reserve soldiers from various units assigned to the 448th Eng. Bn. were tasked to clear the roads around the town of Yauco and have been working hard in order to facilitate access of cars to and from Yauco to the neighboring communities.
The Army Reserve is part of the synchronized Federal emergency response system for immediate assistance. Providing timely and appropriate response to an incident remains one of the Army’s key operational concepts. (U. S. Army Reserve photo by Sgt. Edgar Valdez de Leon)

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.
