Summary

U.S. Marine Corps mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles utilized by Baker Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, drive through the open desert during Operation Lee, east of Gereshk, Helmand province, Afghanistan, May 4, 2014. The MRAPs were moving to their final staging area to provide security for the retrograde convoy of Operation Lee, which removed the last remaining International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) presence in Sangin and turned control of Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) Sabit Qadam and Nolay over to the Afghan National Army (ANA).

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.
