Description TEAPOT - Minutes after an atomic explosion at the Nevada Test Site, Marines aboard assault helicopters swarmed from widely dispersed points upon the objective in a realistic maneuver to exploit the immediate effects of an atomic device against a hypothetical enemy. Although the actual atomic device is shown exploding in the upper right, it was theoretically air-dropped over the objective area so the hard-hitting Marine forces could move in immediately after the explosion. The helicopter shuttle service was accomplished in record time. The last troops picked up were those in loading zones 4 and 5 who had witnessed the explosion from the trenches, and proceeded to their pickup station immediately after the blast. As the deep penetration maneuver was being conducted, Marine jet fighter aircraft buzzed angrily overhead to provide close air-support.
