Description: National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569549 / Local Identifier 111-TV-279 Big Picture: Education in the Army 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). This is the story of education in the U.S. Army, from the most elementary level of grammar school to a college education. From its very birth, the Army has stressed in its training those qualities which make a man a good solider... courage, perseverance, discipline. But in a broadening era of science and discovery, when increasing demands are made on the citizen's ability simply to understand the facts which dominate his life, the bearing of arms also becomes a more complex work. The modern soldier today needs those qualities which education gives him, and for that reason the Army considers the education of its men to be of great importance.
