U.S. Army H-19 Helicopter approaches an Allied military camp in Pusan (Busan) area in South Korea, and lands on a pierced steel plank pad. It keeps engines running and rotors turning as several foreign allied officers climb out. U.S. Army military police (MPs) surround the helicopter and begin unloading what look like wooden footlockers. One MP checks off items on a clipboard. Two more foreign Allied officers get off the helicopter (one is a woman). Allied troops at the base help them into a car, and they drive away. A line of 6 MPs carries 5 of the offloaded boxes, across snowy ground. American soldiers standing around, watching, take photographs. Allied soldiers at the base load many wooden boxes into an army truck, which then drives away. Ground is covered with melting snow. (Korean War period)
