South Vietnam not only possessed a long and vulnerable coastline, but it also had countless miles of inland waterways. In response to these challenges, the military launched Operation...

Encapsulating the lessons learned from years of anti-tunnel operations, this 1969 informational film was part of the U.S. Army's effort to educate troops on how best to...

That island -- a place of dazzling and unique beauty - would eventually be called Mount Desert. In the early twentieth century, men and women of foresight and dedication began the process of preserving this wonder of nature. Their efforts would culminate in the creation of Acadia National...

Though often neglected in favor of the world famous sights of the coast, the northern regions of Maine are nonetheless places of spectacular and untamed beauty. It is here that one can find some of the most remote land in the continental United States, where human settlements are given numbers instead of names, and where populations number in the dozens or less. The scenery is gorgeous, but inaccessible to all but the heartiest explorers willing to venture down dirt logging roads or hike up...
