Summary[edit]

Description Lot-1822-11: Marine Corps Base, Parris Island, South Carolina, May 1942. Bedding down a big barrage-balloon is just another job that the Leathernecks take in stride as special Marine units are trained at Parris Island. “Purging” it with fresh gas before it goes aloft again, and running it up into a tactical formation under control of steel cable, are other features of a technique at which the Marines have become proficient.
