Season 1

Meet the men of Alpha Company in the U.S. Marine Corp’s 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion and experience their final weeks of training before deploying to Iraq. Using Hollywood special effects and actors in battlefield simulations, see how these Marines prepare for a new kind of war

Join Alpha Company in Iraq’s Sunni Triangle where it’s 115 degrees by 8:30 a.m. Go with them as they hunt insurgents, a job that can seem tedious—until an IED detonates underneath your vehicle or a suicide bomber blows himself up 30 feet in front of you.

Get inside the heads of the men of Alpha Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, and find out why they became Marines. Then find out what is behind Iraqi insurgents’ actions. Patrol with the Marines under the scorching sun and the constant threat of death.

Alpha Company’s mission is winding down, and the Marines are fighting an unexpected and extremely dangerous enemy: complacency. But the Marines need to stay on their toes as they hunt down a notorious terrorist named ‘Scarface.'
