The Definitive TV Series of Modern High-Tech Weaponry.

This DVD presents the first two dramatic, fast-moving episodes that depict the development of ground forces, from past failures and successes, to the state-of-art equipment and forces at the heart of today's mechanized battlefield.

  • Episode 1: ROLLING POWER
    The combat capability of the modern army depends on a careful balance of many types of advanced weapons, all of them fast moving, all of them deadly. This episode will show you an example of how today's armies are organized to optimize their effectiveness. The most lethal of mobile units used today is the Heavy Maneuver Division, exemplified by the US Army's 24th Infantry Division. The key combat elements of the division - tanks, infantry, artillery and army aviation - are examined. See how they interact to maximize combat power on the battlefield. Featured equipment includes the M1 Abrams main battle tank, infantry vehicles such as the M2 Bradley, artillery systems including the M109 self-propelled howitzer, and close-air support vehicles such as the AH-64 Apache. Discover how modern armies translate tactics and technology into war fighting capability.

  • Episode 2: HEAVY METAL
    In this high-tech age of precision-guided missiles, the modern tank evokes an image of a bygone era of land warfare. But the thick armor of today's tanks conceals space-age ballistic computers, laser range finders and sophisticated electronics allowing survival on the battlefield. Examine the origins of the tank as a means to overcome the stalemate of trench warfare in World War I. Trace the path of tank evolution by several of the major tank developing countries including Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. The latest vehicles - the British Challenger, French Le Clerc, German Leopard and the American Abrams - represent the latest in Heavy Metal.
