description

Summary

U.S. Army paratroopers from Fort Bragg, N.C. load onto a C-130H Hercules aircraft from the 910th Airlift Wing, Youngstown, Ohio, on Dec. 7 at Green Ramp, Pope Army Airfield, N.C., during Operation Toy Drop 2013. Operation Toy Drop is an annual U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne) sponsored event. The main purpose is to gather toys donated by Fort Bragg Soldiers and distribute them to local children who might otherwise not receive a toy for the holidays. A large airborne operation is also part of Operation Toy Drop. Paratroopers will get a chance to train with a jumpmaster from one of nine countries participating this year. This allows them to earn foreign airborne or “jump” wings. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marvin Krause)

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.
