Trainees take their rubber raft up the Yellow River during the water navigation skill phase of combat control training. Trainees learn to"read the river,"looking for strong currents and shallow water that can cause problems. Combat control training is conducted througout the year by members of the 1723rd Combat Control Squadron. The six-week course teaches the fundamentals of water and land navigation, equipment operations and survival skills

A bow-on view of the amphibious assault ship USS WASP (LHD-1) in the deperming station crib outside Norfolk. The WASP, a new ship, is being depermed for the first time. This is a periodic requirement done by wrapping the ship in electric cables to run electrical currents back and forth until the ship has a negative polarity. This prevents the ship from detonating magnetic influence mines or torpedoes

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.
