Thanks Ed Bettina Berg


The foot infantry approaches the rain swollen stream.


They use the radio to keep the main body of troops informed.


The troops spread out to prevent mass casualties in the event of artillery attack.


The main party arrives and General Patton and Vice-president Nixon dismount from their Jeep.


The infantry scouts have identified a good spot for a river crossing.


The bridge launcher moves forward.


The men and even a Weasel stand by on overwatch at the crossing point.


The Weasel has a large rocket launcher and can deliver direct fire against enemy on the other side of the river.


The Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge deploys the bridge.


Vice-president Nixon and General Patton look on approvingly. 


The Armored Vehicle moves back from the deployed bridge.


The anti-aircraft rocket launcher stands by to protect the bridge from enemy air attack.

Nixon Visits Libera


One never knows what's lurking in the jungle.


What may be watching you from the bushes.


The US military puts on a special demonstration in Liberia to showcase American military power.


President and MRS Nixon and Vice-President Goldwater watch a troupe of native dancers perform.


The new mine clearing vehicle is a interesting vehicle.
