This 1980 film was produced by the US Air Force to explain the various opportunities that exist for people to service in the Reserves. Be it in operational roles or ground support roles. And it also explains what reservists could experience if called to active duty in a real life deployment.

The piece was filmed in Ogden, Utah at Hill Air Force Base, home of the US Air Force Air Logistics Command. As to be expected, USAF Lockheed C-130 Hercules and C-5 Galaxy aircraft feature prominently in the film as do USAF Republic F105 Thunderchiefs. A mock overseas deployment was staged to Volke Field, Wisconsin to show reservists what could be expected in such a scenario.
