carried out during a single day or over a longer period of time. The instructor must know what he is going to do all the way through his cycle of instruction before he starts a course. He must take into account all possibilities. He must aim to use the film in such a way that without it something would be missing, and with it something is added that no other medium of instruction can supply.
Since training plans and schedules provide a "place for every film," every film must be used in its proper place — that is, only in connection with definite training objectives. These objectives are set by the highest training echelons which set up long-range schedules called Mobilization Training Programs for their accomplishment. Training programs that actually bring together soldiers, instructors, equipment, time, and place are worked out by division, regiment, and battalion training officers. Since all training films are designed for use in a larger plan, their full utilization is realized only when they are related to other coordinated activities of military training.
To expedite the use of training films in the field, the Film Distribution and Utilization Branch of the Army Pictorial Service provides the following services and publications :
Visual Aid Coordinators: for each of the nine Service Commands to give overall assistance on the spot where the films are actually used. As consultants and trouble shooters they bring all possible help from the War Department to assist in the installation of new film libraries and in the most effective use of films in training. What they find out in the field helps to bring about needed changes in procedure.
Basic Field Manual 21-7 gives a complete list of titles and brief notes on all training films, film-strips, and film bulletins. It is published twice a year.
War Department Training Circulars, with current information on Army Films, are printed monthly.
The Film Distribution and Utilziation News Letter is issued in mimeographed form bimonthly with general reports on most recently approved and distributed films, and new developments in film utilization in the Service Commands and in the Army Pictorial Service.
Training Film Outlines for each training film produced.
Research Bulletins announce results of surveys on film utilization.
