THE DISTANT EARLY WARNING DEW LINE STORY COLD WAR ARCTIC DEFENSE SYSTEM 34114
The “Dew Line Story” is mostly based in the arctic (:20) where the majority of the year is cloaked in darkness and freezing temperatures. Yet the once impassable area was now, in the “air age”, another area from which opposing forces could strike from (1:12). A decision is made to build a radar early warning line north of the Arctic circle and sprouting from Alaska (2:12). This line is the Distant Early Warning Line, aka the “Dew Line” (2:23). The decision as to who would build the project went to the US Department of Defense (2:52). The Secretary of Defensive gives the contract to the Western Electric Company (3:27), under US Air Force supervision. An international head quarters is established (3:34) and the Dew Line’s projected completion was in 32 months (3:49). One thousand employees ...

Mapping Moments: The Distant Early Warning System (Episode 1)
What do you know about one of the Cold War's coldest military outposts?
Get to know the Distant Early Warning Line with our Mapping Moment!
The DEW line (think The Wall in Game of Thrones) was a line of radar outposts initially built as the primary air defense warning line in case of an over-the-pole invasion of North America.
However, after the Soviet Union's adoption of intercontinental ballistic missile systems the radar outposts became obsolete. Throughout its short life, the DEW line demonstrated the importance of international partnerships, sharing technology and the collective effort to know the Earth.

Arctic Distant Early System | The Cold War Era DEW Line. Defending The North American Territory
The DEW line, or Distant Early System. was a radar system aimed at protecting the North American territory against the Soviet threat.
The creation brought Canada and the United States together, leading to the creation of the North American Air Defense Command, NORAD, in 1958. By the time the Line went active, it consisted of 21 stations established along a transcontinental procession extending for 3,693 statute miles. It took as many as 25,000 people and all sorts of technical and construction skills to fashion the finished product.
In one way the DEW Line had a very short useful life, and in another it still lives and operates in a way we find essential. The effective life of the Line ended with the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles. This technology literally took off d...

DEW Line 1956 US Army The Big Picture Distant Early Warning System
The complex, far-flung network of preparedness by which America keeps itself ready to fend off attack is the story behind this THE BIG PICTURE film presentation. Beyond the United States, far to the North, stretches the latest link in the gigantic network of sight and sound, the remote radar stations of the Distant Early Warning System which we call the DEW Line. To erect these stations in regions few men had ever seen a short decade ago was an achievement of great proportions. To man them, to keep them operating, to bring in adequate food, clothing, and equipment is another gigantic task -- and a continuous one. The job of carrying supplies and equipment to those remote arctic stations belongs to the Army Transportation Corps. "DEW Line" was filmed by two camera crews whose members follow...

The “Dew Line Story” is mostly based in the arctic (:20) where the majority of the year is cloaked in darkness and freezing temperatures. Yet the once impassable area was now, in the “air age”, another area from which opposing forces could strike from (1:12). A decision is made to build a radar early warning line north of the Arctic circle and sprouting from
Alaska (2:12). This line is the Distant Early Warning Line, aka the “Dew Line” (2:23). The decision as to who would build the project went to the US Department of Defense (2:52). The Secretary of Defensive gives the contract to the Western Electric Company (3:27), under US Air Force supervision. An international head quarters is established (3:34) and the Dew Line’s projected completion was in 32 months (3:49). One thousand employees are enlisted for the job (5:00). Working closely with the project, the Air Force creates an office within the building (5:11). In February, the planners take off to begin building the 3,000 mile long strip (5:54). Advanced construction crews arrive and begin setting up camps and radio connections (7:10). A large plane is required to deliver a tractor (7:21), yet an even larger tractor will have to be dropped by parachute (7:37). These will be utilized to carve ice strips for the Air Force’s C124 Globe Master to bring essential materials and by doing so, it would make history (8:20). Back at the Bell Labs, electronic experimental work is conducted (9:34) and results are developed and assembled (9:41). Due to the massive order of supplies, transportation would require east and west coast sea lifts (10:25). Canadian and American air crafts began, in total, carrying 30,00 tons of supplies (11:05). As roadways are built (11:49), plans are carefully organized for cargo shipments to arrive at beach heads (12:22). West coast deliveries begin in June (12:38) and take about a month to complete. The rendezvous would be off Icy Cape in Alaska, 3,000 miles away (13:59). From the east coast, shipments will head for the Baffin Island coast, Fox Basin and into the Melvile peninsula (14:15). With Canadian ice breakers assisting (14:39), it took eight days for the convoy to reach it's destination (14:52). Another shipment from Edmonton
Alberta, is sent through rail, trucks and barges (15:13). The process continued late into September (17:12). As winter approaches, ten months have passed and permanent homes are constructed for workers (18:19). Technicians begin work on the radar radio equipment and (19:12) helicopters bring in more supplies for areas without landing strips (19:46). The C124 delivers the antenna in seventeen crates (20:04). By June of the second year, the antenna is erected (20:49) and another sea lift has come and gone (21:31). Ranking Officers of the Air Force arrive and survey the project's progress (21:41). Aircraft alarm towers and permanent radio systems are completed (21:59) as well as roads for year round services (22:27). By December most sites are constructed and the project is ahead of schedule (22:50). Indoor work is continued as winter arrives again (23:33). Three shifts of workers ensures radar and communication systems are continuously manned (24:07). Tests and calibrations are conducted round the clock (25:10). The Dew Line is declared fully operational on July 31st, it's thirty second month (25:31). The film draws to conclusion as this new frontier had been opened up above the arctic circle (26:35). It has been produced by Audio Productions Inc (26:54).
The Distant Early Warning Line, also known as the DEW Line or Early Warning Line, was a system of radar stations in the far northern Arctic region of Canada, with additional stations along the North Coast and Aleutian Islands of Alaska, in addition to the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Iceland. It was set up to detect incoming Soviet bombers during the Cold War, and provide early warning of any sea-and-land invasion. The need was considered critical and the construction was given the highest national priorities. Advanced site preparation began in December 1954, and the construction was carried out in a massive logistical operation that took place mostly during the summer months when the sites could be reached by ships. The 63-base Line reached operational status in 1957.
In 1985, as part of the "Shamrock Summit", the US and Canada agreed to transition DEW to a new system known as the North Warning System (NWS). Beginning in 1988, most of the original DEW stations were deactivated, while a small number were upgraded with all-new equipment. The official handover from DEW to NWS took place on 15 July 1993.

The DEW line, or Distant Early System. was a radar system aimed at protecting the North American territory against the Soviet threat.
The creation brought Canada and the United States together, leading to the creation of the North American Air Defense Command, NORAD, in 1958. By the time the Line went active, it consisted of 21 stations established along a transcontinental procession extending for 3,693 statute miles. It took as many as 25,000 people and all sorts of technical and construction skills to fashion the finished product.
In one way the DEW Line had a very short useful life, and in another it still lives and operates in a way we find essential. The effective life of the Line ended with the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles. This technology literally took off during 1957 and 1958 with the Soviet R-7, of Sputnik fame, and the American Atlas A. In 1960, the U.S. Navy also perfected the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of 1,200 nautical miles. These missiles could fly far above the DEW Line warning net radars and travel at a rate no aircraft could attain. However, the determination displayed in coming together to survey, design, and build, in a very difficult environment, a defensive barrier against early Soviet nuclear capability demonstrated the vitality and flexibility of the Canadian-U.S. relationship. In this case the homeland became North America, and the threat served to bring us together as it did in World War II, as it would in later conflicts, and as it does now in formulating GEOINT to support the war on terrorism.

The complex, far-flung network of preparedness by which America keeps itself ready to fend off attack is the story behind this THE BIG PICTURE film presentation. Beyond the United States, far to the North, stretches the latest link in the gigantic network of sight and sound, the remote radar stations of the Distant Early Warning System which we call the DEW Line. To erect these stations in regions few men had ever seen a short decade ago was an achievement of great proportions. To man them, to keep them operating, to bring in adequate food, clothing, and equipment is another gigantic task -- and a continuous one. The job of carrying supplies and equipment to those remote arctic stations belongs to the Army Transportation Corps. "DEW Line" was filmed by two camera crews whose members followed the East and West Coast Task Forces through their special DEW Line training at Fort Eustis; departure in convoy from Hampton Roads, Virginia, and Seattle; rigors of the trip through the Arctic ice pack; preparations for discharge; and the difficult and diversified conditions encountered at the actual unloading sites. Today the frozen Arctic is a link in our vast chain of defense -- a chain kept strong by many hardworking individuals, not least of whom are the much traveled men of the Army Transportation Corps.
The Big Picture is an American documentary television program which aired on ABC-TV from 1951 to 1964. The series consisted of documentary films produced by the United States Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service, showing weaponry, battles, and biographies of famous soldiers.
After The Big Picture’s run on ABC ended, it aired in syndication for several more years on some local television stations well into the early 1970s.
Production
The half-hour weekly program featured famous or before-they-were-famous actors and actresses in quality productions, filmed on the Astoria stages, which is now Kaufman Astoria Studios which is a historic movie studio located in the Astoria section of the New York City borough of Queens. The host and narrator was Army Master Sergeant Stuart Queen (1919–1981)—a World War II veteran and Korean War combat broadcaster. Though Master Sgt. Queen is referred to as both a host and narrator, he essentially introduced the profiles that were narrated by such luminaries as Alexander Scourby, Walter Cronkite, Raymond Massey, and Ronald Reagan. In the 1950s, the series was shot on 35mm black-and-white negative, but by the end of the 1960s, it was using 16mm color negative.
From the official government catalog: "THE BIG PICTURE is the official television report by the U.S. Army to its members and to the American people. Subject matter for episodes ranges from historic moments in the Army's proud history to up-to-the-moment coverage of current actions and accomplishments."
On DVD
As an official work of the United States government, The Big Picture was never eligible for copyright and has always been in the public domain, thus allowing it to be distributed far and wide without restriction. The National Archives and Records Administration has made individual episodes of The Big Picture available via Amazon and the Internet Archive, where they can be downloaded for free. Episode DVDs can also be copied for free by visitors to NARA's College Park, Maryland, facility. Many complete episodes and clips have been posted on YouTube.

Subject matter for episodes ranges from historic moments in the Army's proud history to up-to-the-moment coverage of current actions and accomplishments."
On DVD
As an official work of the United States government, The Big Picture was never eligible for copyright and has always been in the public domain, thus allowing it to be distributed far and wide without restriction. The National Archives and Records Administration has made individual episodes of The Big Picture available via Amazon and the Internet Archive, where they can be downloaded for free. Episode DVDs can also be copied for free by visitors to NARA's College Park, Maryland, facility. Many complete episodes and clips have been posted on YouTube.
