U.S. Special Operations combat veterans instruct 30 civilian participants who undergo extreme training and assessment exercises, including interrogations and tear gas exposure; many of the participants will quit before day one comes to an end.
The instructors lead a grueling day of Navy SEAL training in the Pacific Ocean, where exercises in surf immersion, land portage and extreme exposure to the cold push the participants to the edge.
The instructors send the remaining 15 participants to rescue a downed pilot, an exercise designed to test the group's teamwork as well as the leadership of a select few; Instructor Haggerty leads the team on an unbelievable physical feat.
In a stealth and concealment exercise, the participants go out on the ultimate game of hide and seek, where they are tasked with camouflaging themselves in a hide-site to evade detection by the instructors.
