Though the films themselves remain classified, the titles of them were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Government Attic, which tries to publish as many government documents as possible. The Defense Media Activity is a Department of Defense office that runs the websites of the major military branches, as well as military newspapers and publications such as Stars and Stripes.

Why should you care about this? Well, it's a reminder that the Pentagon has a treasure trove of highly curious-sounding videos, such as "The Silent War: Electronic Combat" and Lasers in Military Operations Part 2 and Recovery of the Mayaguez. Now that we know the names of the films, they are subject to "Mandatory Declassification Review," meaning anyone can ask for the release of the films. We'll be filing declassification review requests for some of them, but we're hoping with more awareness, more of these films will actually see the light of day.
