Summary:

Eight countries in Far East covered on film for the series. Under the supervision of veteran combat cameraman, Captain Gaetano Faillace, the camera travels to the Far East to record for television the story of those colorful and exotic countries. The film is a record of how they and the United States have been strengthened by the work of U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Groups stationed there. The military aid to the nations of the Far East is one of the most effective defenses the free world has against Communist aggression in that most vital area. Included among the countries visited are Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Nowhere is the will and the strength to resist more vital to this country than in the Far East, some of which is already heavily scarred by Communist aggression since World War II. Passions not known to Americans stir many of these lands. War and its holocaust--the struggle for and birth of independence--these and others have brought their special problems. "Far East MAAGs" is a documentary that covers many miles of ground and many peoples of the world.
