Preparedness. Maneuvers Reveal Defense Strength. Spectacular Army Maneuvers. Great peacetime maneuvers reveal our defense strength, with thousands of paratroopers 'hitting the silk' over the rugged terrain. Scores are hurt during the thrilling maneuvers, with troops facing mock jet attacks from the air. Equipment and troops get ready for the training exercise apparently at Fort Bragg. High angle, long line of troops climb aboard plane. Interior plane in the air, paratroopers seated. Shot from inside airplane shows the troops jumping out of plane. Ground to air shots of many parachutists exiting planes, floating down, some landing pretty hard. Piece of equipment falls quickly, with faulty parachute. Soldier tends to another man who's lying splayed on the ground, apparently one of the injured (casualty). VS simulated battle, firing weapons. Interesting shots -- planes fly low over a column of tanks, and the troops flee the tanks to take cover.
