1. Field productions can be demanding, tough and challenging.
It takes a
special kind of person to work in remote, dangerous or unusual places. Field
productions are on-site television productions. They can be produced outdoors,
at a remote or a nearby location, or indoors, but not in a studio. A soldier
may be on the road half a year or more shooting various assignments.
Or a
soldier could be assigned to a COMDOC team (Combat Documentation), aptly
described as photography with bullets flying.
