This WWII era Royal Army film breaks down the operation of mechanical transport which on a broad scale refers to everything affecting the organization, control and movement of transport on the field and on a smaller scale simply refers to the actual handling of vehicles (:31). This film will deal with the former view and will include the Royal Army Service Corps (:57). The move enacted will be to advance the company fifteen miles from their current location (1:26). The company is currently located in a lightly wooded area in the countryside that had been chosen as the trees provided coverage from air sightings or attacks (1:57). A zoom in around the site shows the 28 lorries, 2 cars, 7 motorcycles and personnel well covered and concealed (2:41). Prior to the move, cooks are seen preparing the midday meal (3:33) and others conduct daily routines such as vehicle maintenance (3:50). A specific position in the site is pointed to from which a Molotov bomb can be used against approaching enemy attacks (4:23). In order to prepare themselves in the event of an attack, the camp is enclosed in barbed wire, sentry guns are set ready to fire and they equipped with gas detectors and whistles for alarms (4:44). A span is shown of the weapon pits for the rifle men who will back up the light machine gunners and anti-tank rifles (4:58). Trenches had also been dug out for protection against air attacks. A map shows the A, B, and C sections and their varying levels of coverage (5:37) as well as where the headquarters and workshop are located (6:22). Outside of the headquarters, a close up is given of the symbols which inform viewers it is the 70th company of an RFC unit (6:33). A message is brought here by a motorcyclist for the Company Commander (7:17). The message received is shown on screen (7:21) and the Commander then sends for the section officer (7:41). As he arrives, he is careful to leave the car parked at a safe distance from the headquarters so as not to make it’s position obvious (7:55). The second in command had been chosen to carry out the move ordered by the message (8:12) and he orders a reconnaissance party of representatives from each section to report to him (8:17). They decide one subsection is to remain behind for one day (8:27). About fifteen miles will have to be moved across for this move (8:34) and the company commander will decide where to situate the workshop in the new location (9:40). Soldiers begin moving out, keeping a safe distance from one another to maintain discretion (9:50). The film concludes as the motorcyclists move out at the very end of the group (10:23).
