- Summary:
- This is an age of streamlining, with everything from automobiles to guided missiles reflecting the dynamic look of the future. The United States Army is no exception, and with this in mind this episode documents the new concept called "The Pentomic Army." As shown, the Army's modern fighting division today is lean and functional, simple in organization and efficient in performance, keeping pace with the many marvelous inventions at its disposal. The Pentomic Division, so named because it consists of five battle groups, is a semi-independent, self-contained fighting unit designed to operate effectively on an atomic battleground, should the need ever arise. As pointed out in this film presentation, today's Pentomic Division is characterized by the ability of fewer men to deliver a more devastating concentration of firepower on any would-be aggressor.
