Shot List
This footage shows the activities around a military base with signs indicating "Company M Mighty Mike," and "Headquarters 3rd Battalion Ever Ready." The activities of the soldiers walking around show an integrated unit--they walk past, enter buildings, and socialize. Much of the footage of the Korean towns and countryside is filmed from a moving vehicle and is difficult to see.
