1. Due to COVID-19 archival research is limited, which caused the Films Team to coordinate with those whom already had the textual and visual materials necessary for the production of our films.

2. The members of the Films Team work with the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, appropriate Army Centers of Excellence, and Army University in order to determine what doctrine will be highlighted in a film.  A historical battle, operation, or campaign is then selected as the lens through which the doctrine is viewed.  Our goal is to make films that are both educational and entertaining.   

3. The stills and motion pictures used in our films come from archives, libraries, museums, collections, and personal donations.  AUP Films acquires these resources through archival research trips and from digital collections.  We often collaborate with the National Archives, Presidential Libraries, the US Army Heritage and Education Center at Carlisle Barracks, and the Combined Arms Research Library at Ft. Leavenworth. Additionally, we use personal images and film when granted permission by the owner.

4. We are currently researching topics ranging from the American War for Independence to the Global War on Terror.  We are working on films discussing the battle for Okinawa, operations in the Burma during World War II, the lead-up to Operation Torch, and a series of films highlighting battles memorialized by the streamers attached to the U.S. Army Flag. The first film of this series will be on the battles at Saratoga during the Revolutionary War.
