Training for Northern Operations

U.S. military personnel navigate a variety of Alaska landscapes in this clip from a 1960s silent film titled "Training for Northern Operations" by Sergeant First Class R.C. Powers. Scenes were filmed at the Black Rapids Training Site south of Delta Junction, Alaska, as part of a program of the U.S. Army Northern Warfare Training Center (NWTC). The NWTC has provided cold weather and mountain warfare training since the late 1940s and is currently managed out of Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaska Film Archives thanks and recognizes all members of the U.S. Armed Forces for their service and dedication (Color/Silent/16mm film).

This clip is from AAF-10306 of the Fort Wainwright Collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
