Peter Berg ("Lone Survivor'') serves as an executive producer of this series that features first-person accounts of people who have served on the front lines of the missions carried out by U.S. Special Operations Forces during the War on Terror since 2001. The hourlong episodes tell harrowing tales of the soldiers' triumphs and sacrifices on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition to first-person storytelling the show uses archival footage and cinematic re-enactments to bring the wartime experience to life for viewers.
