Overview
This Pete Smith Specialty short focuses on the young men who have signed up for the U.S. Army. The film uses the analogy of the speed, accuracy, and teamwork of sports and how these qualities are translated into the weapons training of American soldiers. We watch target practice by Army personnel with shoulder weapons, mortars, and various artillery pieces.

I am usually a fan of these Pete Smith films, but this one is really quite dull. His normally tongue-in-cheek commentary is replaced with something altogether more contrived as we see an array of guns at the disposal of American soldiers that get steadily bigger and more accurate as this repetitive ten minutes rumbles on. There are the usual โbest in the worldโ superlatives, of course, and it all looks like a dawdle when nobody is shooting back so I suppose it might just work as a morale-booster for a domestic audience getting used to FDRs new armaments policy, but as a film itโs archive you might have seen before coupled with an off-form commentary.
