(ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). The Army Quartermaster Corps in Europe has the mission of supplying and equipping our troops with food and clothing. THE BIG PICTURE takes the television audience to Germany and the surrounding NATO countries where the Quartermaster Corps maintains housekeeping operations for the troops and their dependents. Although Quartermaster Corps personnel carry on a service supply operation, they must be ever ready to take their position "on the line" in any emergency. Physical fitness and training go hand-in-hand with the Quartermaster mission in Europe.
