The Big Picture documentary The Quartermaster Story looks at the research and engineering program that is the core of the Army Quartermaster Corps. In addition to their mission to supply troops in current conditions, it is also their job to research new ways to equip the modern soldier in any job that might arise. It looks at how they are researching space age food - demonstrated by a chicken dinner and fruit dessert the spaceman can eat through his space helmet - i.e. "toothpaste tube food." It also looks at the research that goes into being sure every soldier is provided with the right food, clothing and equipment no matter where they are deployed in the world. If you ever wanted to learn the inner workings of these "silent" troops, this documentary will be very educational.
