About this film
National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569555 / Local Identifier 111-TV-285 Big Picture: Defense of Japan DVD copied by Katie Filbert. Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The departure of many American troops from the Far East is part of a major change in U.S. strategy. In this film presentation, the story of Japan's defense is told. Back in the post-war years, the United States provided American instructors to help the Japanese police in their training. THE BIG PICTURE shows in a similar way, how we are guiding a new Japanese military organization, so that it may become capable of undertaking the difficult responsibility of National Defense. The Soviet threat to our West is being met by helping Japan defend itself and by standing behind her with our own forces in the event of Soviet attack.
