Plot Synopsis

Teams of military operatives compete against each other, while also facing a squad of private military contractors, in a series of challenges to determine who are the best special forces in the world. In each 60-minute episode, the three teams endure five grueling chalenges, from urban hostage rescue to long distance sniper challenges to hand-to-hand knife fighting, all designed to simulate real world combat environments. During these challenges, the soldiers use simulated ammunition and electric knives. Plus, two new military teams compete each week, including: the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne and the Israeli Defense Force, who compete in machine gun and assault rifle shooting tests, hand-to-hand fighting with knives, and a mission to retrieve essential equipment protected by an opposition force; the U.S. Army Rangers and Britain's Royal Air Force Regiment, who take part in machine gun and sniper rifle shooting, Close Quarters Combat, and a mission to rescue an agent held by enemy forces; and many more squads, like the U.S. Green Berets and Norwegian FSK, Navy SEALS vs. Spetsnatz, the U.S. Marine Force Recon vs. Canadian Light Infantry, and U.S. Army vs. U.S. Navy.
