[tense music playing]

[electronic warble]

[man 1 in Arabic] Go, go.

[man 2 in English] So, we've just seen what looks like the target running away.

We need to make sure we've got a support team with us,

and we don't get lured into some sort of trap.

Right, you ready?

[men] Go, go, go.

[electronic warble]

[suspenseful music playing]

-Put the weapon down. Put it down! -[man 3] Get down.

-[opening theme playing] -[blades whirring]

[man] We are three former special operation soldiers

on a mission to go deep inside

the most elite and secretive fighting forces in the world.

[gunshots]

[Dean] I'm Dean Stott, former SBS British special forces.

Times like this, you can hear your heartbeat in your ears.

[Cameron] I'm Cameron Fath, former United States Army Ranger.

-Not bad for a day's work. -[gun cocks]

[man] And that guy, at home in the swamp,

that's me, former Navy SEAL Ryan Bates.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of a big deal.

And these are the Toughest Forces on Earth.

-Good to go. -[gunshot]

[blades whirring]

[electronic warble]

[electronic warble]

[majestic music playing]

Well, boys. Here we are in the desert.

[Cameron] No water,

no shade.

So, what do you guys know about these, uh, the Jordanian special forces?

[Cameron] They have the King Abdullah Special Forces Group,

which is composed of two separate units.

A counterterrorism task force, and their special forces.

These guys are the tip of the spear for the Jordanian military.

[tense music playing]

We came all this way because there's no better desert warfare training

that a military unit can receive than here in Jordan,

and knowing how to fight here is what the Jordanian special forces

are amazing at.

[Western music playing]

What I'm not looking forward to at the end of this week, I'm gonna be burnt up.

There's no getting around it. It's a hot-ass desert.

[electronic warble]

[man in Arabic] Welcome.

-[in English] Nice to meet you. -[Dean] Nice to meet you.

-[man] Welcome. -[Cameron] Nice to meet you.

This is our small command post.

-Please, join us. -[Cameron] I like the setup.

[Ryan] I would've drove right past this, never saw it.

-[Dean] Good command post. -[Ryan] Yes.

Welcome among the members of King Abdullah II Special Forces Group.

I am Lieutenant Colonel Murad.

We conduct special forces operations and counterterrorism operations,

uh, to protect our borders.

-I'm Major Malek, the team leader. -[electronic warble]

In the next week,

we will conduct some of our desert training

and finish with the final mission here in Wadi Rum.

-[Cameron] Awesome. -So, let's start the training now.

[tense music playing]

[Cameron] Is it gun time?

[Dean] The majority of my operations in special forces

have been in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The desert comes with its own risks.

The blistering heat,

uh, the weight of the body armor and the ammunition, uh, weighs you down.

It's just energy sapping.

[Ryan] I actually don't mind it that much.

Most of my deployments have all been into the desert situation.

I live in Nevada, so I live in the same kind of environment.

It's always sunny. Yeah, it's a little hot, little dusty,

but you get a nice suntan, and you come back looking cool.

[Ryan] That's a 240-50 cal.

It's pretty much what we used back in the day.

-[gun cocks] -[Ryan] Good to go.

[tense music playing]

[electronic warble]

[Malek] Okay, guys, bring it in.

We'll start the escape and evasion, er, training exercise.

Escape and evade is an extremely important skill to have

anywhere you operate as a military force.

[Malek] Cameron, you will have Team 1.

-And Ryan, you will have Team 2. -Okay.

Dean, your job is to expose these teams.

So, today's training is a game of cat and mouse.

Ryan and I are the mice, and Dean is the hairless cat.

We're going to be going about two kilometers that way

and trying to skirt and use terrain to try to get away from these guys hunting us.

-But they do have the Can-Am. -This is a new Can-Am.

I've seen the civilian type of this, but I've not seen the military type.

So, yeah, looking forward to having a little spin around in this.

This thing goes fast.

[Dean] So, the Can-Am all-terrain vehicle has been modified for desert warfare

with a reinforced roll cage and armored plating.

The chassis is robust and light, and individual wheel suspension

then enhances the traction in sandy and rocky terrain

that is normally inaccessible to other military vehicles.

[Dean] I'm gonna enjoy being the hunter. I'm gonna chase these two down.

There's no preferential treatment for my mates. They're getting it hard.

-[Cameron] Okay. -[Ryan] Let's go.

You boys nervous?

Good luck, Dean. I won't underestimate you.

-Don't hurt yourself. -[Dean] Good luck.

[Cameron] We kinda got a little bit of a competitive vibe,

because Dean does not like to lose, and I want to see that man cry.

I think we're gonna just beat their ass because we're gonna win.

We're Americans. Ameri-cans.

Okay. Let's go.

[Dean] See you soon, boys.

[Cameron] Happy hunting.

[Ryan] You won't be seeing us again.

[engines revving]

[Ryan] All right, go, go, go.

We're gonna get a 15-minute head start.

We're gonna have to conceal our vehicles.

-[electronic warble] -Then move tactically to not get detected

to get to the extraction point and win the game.

You don't want to, uh, walk in the open desert

where you can be seen silhouetted pretty easy.

So, we're using this wash right now to move fast, move quickly out of sight.

Also, sound travels real well over the desert.

You can hear the sound of the desert echoing off the rocks behind us.

The car they're driving is pretty loud.

So, we need to move quick.

All right, let's go. Let's move out.

Dodge, we've got to get these two Americans.

-Give them a bit of�� Yeah? Happy? -Yes.

-Yes, I am very happy. -Let's get the Americans.

-[electronic warble] -[engine revving]

[Dean] That's us now on the hunt.

So, I want to take advantage of the speed of this vehicle.

We only have about 30 minutes before it starts getting dark.

[Cameron] Right now, our best, but honestly most dangerous option

is to just hug the side of this wall leaving our right side completely exposed.

Fingers crossed, Dean doesn't see us moving.

My game plan is to move slow, use cover, use concealment.

I think Cameron's just gonna run fast.

We'll see who wins.

[Cameron] There's not a lot of cover in the desert to wait and hide.

So, in my mind, speed is gonna be my best friend,

so I'm just gonna run.

[engine revving]

[Dean] Hey, Dodge.

-[Dodge] I see it. -[Dean] There's a vehicle, buddy.

Let's go have a look.

I think if it got any darker, we wouldn't have seen this.

They've got quite a good�� good hide here,

but hopefully now with the vehicles, we now have the advantage of speed.

[tense music playing]

[electronic warble]

Instead of us keep moving and get exposed,

I decided to come up here

and set up a little hide site and just wait.

Wait till the cover of darkness. Then we'll move.

Cameron took off fast.

Sometimes speed is the key. Sometimes it isn't.

Sometimes you just gotta be patient, move slow, move smart.

[inhales] We'll be all right. We'll make it.

[tense music continues]

[engine revving]

[Cameron] Get down, get down, get down. Down, down, down.

He's hot on our trail.

[panting] Gonna have to leg it the fast route.

[electronic warble]

[engine revving]

[tense music continues]

[whispering] He's very close.

Right now, I'm just using the micro-terrain

and praying he doesn't see me.

[engine revving]

I think we're safe for now. Still have to move tactically.

We've picked up the pace.

We're in a very, very open area.

Trying to boogie as quick as possible, 'cause we're exposed right now.

[engine revving]

[Dean] The sun's set.

Our visibility is limited,

so what we'll probably do is we'll stop in a second.

Get ourselves into a dominant position where we can get a good�� good view.

[Dean] In a desert, you're very limited in cover.

I'm thinking like Ryan and Cameron, "What route would I take?"

So, I would use the ravine and the features of the rocks behind me.

[quietly] Let's put our night vision on. We'll move out.

[Cameron] We're almost there.

-[tense music playing] -[electronic warble]

[Dean] We've lost all advantage of daylight.

But what we have got is these forward light infrareds,

which are thermal imagery.

These are very accurate,

you know, if I see a heat source, I can zoom in on it.

Hey, Dodge. I think I've seen movement.

Standby.

[Dean] Thermal imaging goggles are perfect for desert recon operations.

In this vast expanse, they see through sandstorms

and can track an enemy through the harshest glare of the sun

and the darkest of nights.

[Dean] So I can see three guys.

My ideal plan is they're gonna continue to use this ravine.

They'll walk towards me, and we'll conduct an ambush.

-[Dodge] Fifteen meters. -[Dean] Yeah.

-[Dean] Okay, Dodge? Let's go. -[Dodge] Ready.

[Dean] We've got someone, but who is it?

Hey, Ryan.

[Ryan] Shit.

-[Dean] Our upper hand vanished. -[Ryan] Yeah.

[Dean] Because I know hunter forces won't know what we know,

and I would've done exactly what you did.

So that's why I was already there to ambush you.

[Ryan] There's no really any other place to go.

As soon as I saw you, I would've pushed back.

-Holed up for the night. -I would've just, uh, released Dodge.

-Dodge on me? Where are you? -[Dean] Yeah.

How are you? I'm fine.

[Ryan, Dean laugh]

I need to go find Cam.

[whispers] The game is on.

Good luck to Dean, 'cause I refuse to let you find me.

[Cameron] I think I'm within striking distance of the extraction point.

[tense music intensifies]

I'm just gonna make a run for it and hope Dean doesn't spot me.

-[triumphant music playing] -[electronic warble]

We made it to the extraction without getting caught.

But I haven't seen Ryan yet.

So, you know, I'm not sure if he's made it back.

All I know is it's one for Team Ranger.

-Malek. -[Malek] Hey, Cam.

What's up?

Am I the first one here?

[Malek] Yeah, you are the first one.

Let's go!

That's awesome for me.

Now, I guess what we have to do is just wait to see

if Ryan comes back in handcuffs or not.

All right. I see headlights.

[engine revs, stops]

-All right. -[Ryan] What's up, guys?

-[Cameron] What's up? -[Malek] What's up?

-[Cameron] How'd it go? -[Ryan exhales] Not so well.

-[Cameron chuckles] "Not so well." -[Dean] You sprinted.

[Cameron] Yeah, there was a couple of really close calls.

-I'm not gonna say it was easy. -How was your trip?

It was good-ish.

-[Cameron laughs] -[Malek] "Ish?"

[Ryan] We chose to kind of move a little slower.

And then we kind of got bottlenecked in,

and, uh, Dean was able to find us as we exposed ourselves towards the end.

So, I think Cameron, he will be the winner for today.

In all honestly, Cameron won. I'm not pushing against that.

But I chose the path of using my cover and concealment

and dead space to move slow,

treating it like it was real world, and they can shoot back.

And, you know, really if the bullets were flying,

I think Cameron would've been moving a little bit slower.

You don't wanna be the open guy running through the desert and get caught.

[wind whistling]

[Western music playing]

[electronic warble]

[Cameron yawns] What's up fellas?

Hey, buddy.

[grunting] Oh my God.

[men laugh]

[Cameron] That was a rude awakening.

-[Ryan] Come on, Cameron. Come on. -[Cameron grunts]

-[man] Wow, wow. -[men laughing]

He's like a brick wall, dude.

-[man] Well done. -[Ryan] Wow.

[Dean in Arabic] Ah, it's ready.

[Ryan] Oh.

-[Malek] For you. -[in Arabic] Thank you.

[in English] I'm looking forward to this.

This is gonna be refreshing. It's so hot out here.

[Ryan] Aside from the heat, what other threats are here?

Any kind of wildlife?

We have hyenas. We have the snakes.

-[Ryan] I don't like snakes. -You like snakes?

-I do not like snakes. -It's good.

-[Ryan] Oh, you eat the snake. -[man] Yes.

-[Ryan] No. -Oh, it's good.

[Cameron, Ryan laugh]

Is that how he got this big? Is that the secret? Eating snake?

[tense music playing]

[electronic warble]

Today, our training will be about mobility contact drills.

Dean, you will be in that vehicle.

-You will be the gunner. -Yeah.

Cameron and Ryan, you will be in that vehicle.

One gunner, one driver.

-Okay. -Works for me.

[Malek] Let's go.

-[tense music intensifies] -[engine revving]

So, today's exercise is going to be how to react to an ambush

while mounted in the desert.

So, if you find yourself in this type of situation,

it's extremely important that you train how to escape

and get out of there safely.

Vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, like the M2,

are essential for desert warfare.

They rotate 360 degrees, with a range of 8,000 yards

and a powerful 50-caliber round that can punch through a dug-in enemy.

[tense music builds, stops]

Contact left! Contact left!

Let's go!

[Cameron] So, the key to this exercise

is to immediately lay down a wave of bullets at the enemy,

putting their heads down and allowing one vehicle to move

while the rest are still engaging.

All right. Pop 'em. Pop 'em. Pop 'em.

All right. We're moving. We're moving!

[Cameron] We lay down smoke, creating cover for that vehicle

to then reposition

and begin engaging, allowing the other ones to then move.

[Dean] As soon as that vehicle now gets into position and engaging,

we need to prepare to move.

[gunshots]

[Cameron] That's it. Light them up, Ryan! Light 'em up!

-[gunfire continues] -[Dean] Now, it's our turn to move.

Let's go.

Two other vehicles are getting rounds down,

which means we can move while they're engaging.

Then we can slot back in and get back in the fire fight.

[gunshots]

[Dean] Then we repeat this movement back till every vehicle is out of sight

and out of fire.

[Cameron] All right, moving! Moving!

[Ryan] Moving out!

[Cameron shouts indistinctly]

[Ryan] Punch it! Go! Come on!

[Cameron] Yeah!

-[Cameron] All right. Good shooting. -[Ryan] That was good driving.

[Malek] Good.

-[Cameron] Yeah! Good shooting, gents. -[Malek] Good, good. Good.

That bring back some good memories or what?

Yeah, man, it was good. It's been forever for me.

-It's been forever. -[Ryan] Yeah.

-Good job. -That was good.

I'm�� I'm so pumped. It's been a long time since I operated in the desert.

This whole thing gives me nostalgia about being back in the SEAL teams.

I get to shoot heavy weapons. It's as if I was back in my young 20s.

Hey, Ryan, Cam.

-[Cameron] Yeah? -How was that?

[Cameron] It was good, man.

Yeah, Ryan forgot his ear pro, so he's a little deaf.

-[Dean] Sorry. What did you say? -Ryan forgot his-- Yeah.

[Dean, Cameron laugh]

[upbeat music playing]

-[Malek] How was the exercise? -I think it went really well.

Yeah. Good weight of fire down at all times.

No vehicles were moving without rounds going down.

-So, it was good. -Okay.

I believe we did well in this exercise.

The maneuvering was�� was really good.

-Okay, let's go. -All right.

[Ryan] Let's do it.

[upbeat music ends]

[tense music playing]

The sun's beating down.

The guys are prepping all their kit, checking the vehicles.

[door latches]

Excited to get out the desert and finally, possibly, get a nice comfy bed

with some air conditioning.

The desert's fun, but it's always more fun to leave.

[Ryan] Hey, Dean, quit climbing on the rocks.

Actually help. What are you actually doing?

Well, normally the leader is a foreman. I will just stand here and command my men.

-[Ryan laughs] -Clean up. Clean up.

The country of Jordan is located in an extremely volatile area.

They need to be able to keep up with domestic and foreign threats

that are surrounding them on all fronts.

The King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center

is a world-renowned and state-of-the-art training facility,

and we are heading there to join the Jordanian special forces

in counterterrorism operations.

[Cameron] I'm super excited. Many special forces come

to this training center.

Anything that you can think of that you're gonna be doing on an operation,

they have it at this training facility.

-We're here? -[Cameron] This is it.

Well, look at this.

Oh, there's a fan.

-It's nice to be out of that sun. -Let's, uh, crank that guy to 11, dude.

[Malek] For the next three days,

we will do some counterterrorism exercises.

We have 20 minutes, so let's prepare.

[tense music playing]

So, you're in the black gear, and we're in, uh, green ops.

[Cameron] I guess so, man.

[Dean] There's a difference between green and black ops.

Green ops is conducted by the majority of the armed forces

in environments like the jungle, or the desert, the Arctic.

Black ops is for units to conduct counterterrorism and hostage-rescue.

They finally came to their senses

and realized who really needs to be in charge.

-[Ryan] Uh-huh. [grunts] -[Cameron] Limber up.

-It's gonna be a long day. -Right? [groans]

-[Cameron] There you go. -[Ryan] Do some squats here. [groans]

-[Dean] What's that creaking? -It's his ass.

Do you not have to limber up?

Do you ever see a lion limber up before it takes down a gazelle?

You keep putting more hairspray,

you're gonna be a lawn dart by the end of the day, man.

I'm just, like, sticking to things.

[Ryan, Cameron laugh]

You look good, but the enemy can smell you from 2,000 yards.

-Let's do it. -All right. Let's go.

[dramatic music playing]

[electronic warble]

In special forces, we train for real,

and there's no better way than actually using real props,

real buildings.

So having these facilities gives that upper hand and advantage

for real-life scenarios.

[Malek] Okay, today, we have an urban operation.

Three terrorists, they are attempting to make some attack

on one of the government buildings.

They are equipped with a semi-automatic rifle.

[Ryan] In this exercise, we have to capture the leader of a terrorist cell

hiding out in a city building.

Is there any civilians?

There is not any civilians, just the three bad guys.

[Ryan] Jordan overall is a very stable country

surrounded by an unstable region.

Terrorism, wars are fighting, smuggling.

They're constantly combating these different problems.

Ah. Look at that.

[engine revving]

My role today in this exercise is overwatch and a sniper.

Uh, it's a role I've done many times in my experience in Afghanistan.

[Ryan] It's a pretty important job,

because you're overlooking the target as the assault forces crush in.

You're getting a different angle on the building the assault team can't see.

So, if something pops off, you can take out the hostile.

I got both my buddies' backs.

Don't worry, Bates is here. [chuckles]

[Cameron] Dean's gonna move in with the ground team to lock down the area.

Although we've identified where the target is,

you don't know of additional threats.

So you have to approach assuming there could be a target or enemy

in any of these buildings.

[blades whirring]

[Ryan] Cameron is gonna helo in with the assault team.

We're waiting for the call.

Swoop in, fast-rope down, and take out those threats.

[Dean] We can see the target building.

Snipers now will be in position, so now we need to be as quick as possible.

Get the Black Hawk in.

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Cameron] I've done a lot of fast-roping in my military time.

You know, anything can happen, especially when fast-roping onto a tall building.

You have nothing attaching you to the rope.

You can definitely be killed by doing this method of infiltration.

[tense music playing]

[Cameron] Fast-roping onto rooftops and other elevated positions

gives the assault force a tactical advantage,

because it's easier to fight downwards from top to bottom.

[tense music continues]

[Cameron] While raiding a building, you need to be on high alert.

Every corner, nook, and cranny

has the possibility of being the last thing you ever see.

[man talks indistinctly]

-[Cameron] Drop it! Drop it! Go, go! -[man 1 speaking Arabic]

[Cameron] Down, down, down. Down!

Go.

[man 1 in Arabic] Surrender!

[Cameron in English] Came across an armed combatant.

He didn't want to party,

so he dropped the gun and got down on the ground.

Up, up.

So far, it's been a good mission.

But it's not over yet.

[man 2] Go!

[Cameron] We've captured the target,

but we still have to get out of here alive.

Moving through cities is a bit sketchy, especially once they know you're here,

because think about all these windows.

There could be a guy sitting in a window, pop out and take a shot.

The guys got the enemy.

They're moving. Before they move out, they're gonna pop smoke,

which means they're gonna throw out smoke and mask their movement.

[bomb explodes]

[Cameron] Go, go, go.

[man in Arabic] Last one!

[honking]

[Dean in English] Phase 1 of the withdrawal is the vehicles.

Then the sniper teams will come in, and then we're the last to leave.

The withdrawal is probably one of most dangerous parts of this type of mission,

because we've gone loud. We can bring attention to ourselves.

So there's a high chance you could be ambushed on the way out.

[tense music ends]

Contact right!

Man down! Medic!

Let's go. Let's go.

This part of the exercise is a simulation designed to test our team's reaction

to a medical emergency.

The immediate action was to get him cover from fire and view.

We're now in a protected area. We've got all-round defense.

And the medic can now start administering first aid.

That was a good simulation. It's good to highlight

-that you're never safe until you're back. -[man] Yeah.

-Let's go. -[Dean] Yeah.

[somber music playing]

[wind whistling]

-[Dean] How was that? -Good, man. How was the view?

-Yeah. It looked good from where I was. -Hey guys. How are you?

-Hello. -Good to see you again.

How was the training? I heard some excellent stuff about it.

-[Cameron] It was good. -I think your facility is top-notch.

We are very proud here that this unit, we're commanded by His Majesty.

Uh, he is one of the few, if not the one leader around the world

who is special forces qualified.

-We have a warrior king. -A warrior king.

[Cameron] Yeah, I like it.

[tense music playing]

[birds chirping]

[Dean] Are you from a military family?

-[Malek] Yeah, my father is in the Army. -Yeah.

And also I have three brothers,

uh, two of them in the Army.

Yeah, yeah. Same as me. My father was in the military, my grandparents.

I was born in a military hospital and went to military schools.

There's just one way I was going.

-So, we are military in the blood. -[Dean] Exactly, yeah.

[Malek, Dean chuckle]

Was your father and your brothers, were they also special forces,

or are you the first one in the family?

Actually, I'm the�� the only person in special forces.

[Ryan] Is your father proud of you?

Yeah, of course. Your father, is he proud of you?

None of my family was ever in the military.

-Really? -But yeah, they're proud of me.

So, before you entered the Army, you�� you were weak?

-Huh? -Not that��

-[Cameron laughs] -Like, skinny.

-[laughing] Yeah? -Yeah, I was a little skinny.

[Cameron] I think we all were skinny and weak before we joined the military.

Okay. We're talking about ourselves, not about you. You're still skinny, man.

[Malek, Ryan, Dean laugh]

-That's good. -[Malek] I'm just kidding.

It's a six-pack, okay? It's a six-pack.

[tense music playing]

[electronic warble]

They actually have a full plane out there.

[Cameron] This is a state-of-the-art facility.

I've done a lot of urban raids and urban clearances,

but nothing of the sorts on a plane.

This is all new territory for me.

If there's a hostage situation, you don't get to pick and choose where they do it.

So, whether it's a building, whether it's an aircraft,

whether it's a train, a coach, on oil rig.

-You have to train on all options. -[Cameron] Sure.

I've done it. It's just it's been over a decade.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I feel like a flight attendant.

You look like a waiter.

Yeah. Waiter!

-[Ryan chuckles] -More water.

[tense music playing]

[tires screeching]

[Malek] Today, we have a simulated hijacked aircraft exercise.

It's a unique exercise for counterterrorism units.

Firstly, we will divide into three sections.

First section will be with Dean.

Second section will be with Cameron, and the last section will be with Ryan.

We have five minutes to gear on.

-Let's go. -[Ryan] Let's do it.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Dean] Hijackings of aircraft were prevalent in the Middle East.

Those numbers have gone down,

but that doesn't mean it's still not an option.

So it's great to see we have an aircraft here

to conduct these counterterrorism operations.

[Cameron] What makes this exercise difficult

is you're in a small space where a lot can go wrong.

There's a lot of innocent people, and there's a few bad guys.

We've got to raid the airplane, take down those hijackers,

and rescue the hostages.

This is one of the hardest scenarios you can face.

I have the fun job of squeezing through the cockpit.

For size reference, there's my shoe.

[tense music playing]

Coming down here, we have multiple targets

that will pop up, and the ones that pop up, you engage.

There are also real people acting as hostages.

-Hope it all goes well. -[helicopter starts]

Let's hope Cameron doesn't get stuck.

[Malek] Let's go.

[Dean] I'm in a Little Bird helicopter, known as the Killer Egg,

built specifically for special operations.

'Cause it's so small and compact,

it's ideal for tight spaces, particularly urban environments.

[Cameron] The secret to success for this mission

is that all three elements work perfectly in sync.

While me and my team come through the cockpit��

[Ryan] At the same time, I'm gonna come in through the door.

One minute.

[Dean] My role is to come in on the helicopter.

That should cause a distraction.

[Ryan over radio] Go, go, go.

[gunshots]

[Cameron] Using simulated rounds, Ryan and I take an aisle each

and eliminate any threats we find on the aircraft.

-[gunshots] -[Dean talks indistinctly]

[Ryan] Cover. Clear.

[gunshots]

[Cameron] Clear.

[Ryan] Clear.

Okay, we've just made it to the back of the plane.

Uh, we've cleared all threats.

[Cameron] Now all that's left to do is take the remaining people off

and determine whether they are friend or foe.

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Malek in Arabic] Go on.

All-round defense.

[man whistles]

[speaking Arabic]

[men speaking Arabic]

[Cameron in English] It didn't go terribly wrong. It was fast, aggressive.

For the first time doing this, I think it went really good.

[birds chirping]

[Malek] Maybe you don't know, but in every exercise you did in KASOTC,

there is more than 300 cameras that record every, every action that you did,

and you will be able to review all the pros and cons.

We will search for the mistakes

and then we will correct it.

-You're screwed, dude. -Dude.

I know what you did in that room, and they will see it on this screen.

[Ryan] Do you guys do this after every exercise?

-Watch your pros and cons? -[Malek] Yes.

So, this room is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment��

Yeah. For the training, yeah.

You can see the hijacked aircraft exercise.

[electronic warble]

[Cameron] Element on the left side is way before the other one.

We should've been on line together, clearing as a unit,

so everybody's covering their left and right.

-[Ryan] You should've slowed down. -[Cameron] Yeah.

I was going too fast. I should've been more aware of the left side.

-Doing that cuts off the other side. -[Ryan] Yeah, they can't shoot.

[Cameron] They can't shoot if we're in their sector.

So, should've been a little bit slower so we're moving up on line.

[Malek] You are looking for the enemy, but at the same time,

you have to take, like, a glance to the left

to see if you are level with the other side.

Of course, every exercise, they have a mistake.

We believe that it's training.

So�� I hope that next time, we will not do that mistake.

-[Cameron] Mm-hmm. -And we will be in a better situation.

[Cameron] It's amazing that you guys are actively reviewing your exercises.

It's an absolute game changer.

It's just gonna make you a lot better in the end.

[majestic music starts, ends]

[tense music playing]

[Malek] Today, we are moving to Wadi Rum,

and you will execute the final mission.

-Let's go. -[all] Let's go!

[Dean] We don't know what the objective is yet,

whether it's a reconnaissance or whether it's actually hitting a target,

but I'm looking forward to getting back out in the desert.

[tense music intensifies]

[electronic warble]

Our mission will be target capture.

We have to capture the target alive.

Do we know the numbers of enemy on target?

The enemy consists of seven guys, uh, with AK-47s.

-Okay. -You have five minutes to roll out.

[Dean] Our target is a rebel leader holed up in a well-fortified compound.

Even has a sentry in a watchtower.

So, just getting close to the target is gonna be very difficult

without being compromised.

[Dean] Ryan's gonna neutralize the sentry position.

Then it's over to myself and Cameron, getting in, neutralizing the enemy

and grabbing our target and extract him as quick as possible.

It's gonna bring back some memories. Some door kicking in the desert.

Drop off, hit a compound, move out.

[Ryan] I always hit at night. It's kind of sketchy during the day.

They'll see us coming.

[Cameron] Yeah. Full kit in the heat, it's gonna be a burner.

[tense music continues]

[Ryan grunts]

-All right, let's rock and roll. -[engines revving]

[tense music continues]

[Cameron] Not only is it super hot here, but now there's a sandstorm coming in.

Storm's picking up.

Much more difficult to see, but as well as the visibility aspect,

it's quite windy as well, quite loud.

So we can use that to our advantage with the noise and get as close as we can.

[Cameron] We're about 300 meters away from the objective.

If we move any closer forward,

we will be exposing ourselves to the target.

[Ryan] Grabbing this bad boy.

A little bit overkill.

It's 50 cal, but anything worth doing is worth overdoing. [exhales]

All right, let's go.

So, I'll be setting up the observation point.

[Ryan] The M107 sniper rifle's got a range of about 2,000 yards,

and in this vast desert area, it gives you long ranges.

So, a good sniper rifle means a lot in this kind of environment.

[Ryan] We'll be a ways out. I think about 800 meters.

And I will take the shot to initiate the assault.

It's about 25-30 mile an hour winds now, which is not the best for sniping,

but it's a right-to-left wind.

Just gotta hold a little bit right, and we should be good to go.

[tense music continues]

We're stacked up ready to make entry.

Waiting for our sniper shots then we're pushing in.

It's times like this you can hear your heartbeat in your ears.

You just control your breathing. Just trust your training.

[tense music intensifies]

[Ryan] It's good to go.

[gunshot]

[man 1 speaking Arabic]

[Cameron] Yep. Go, go, go.

[man 2 speaking Arabic]

[gunshots]

[Cameron] Up, up, up.

Good.

[man 3 speaking Arabic]

[in Arabic] Go, go.

[Dean in English] We've just seen what looks like the target running away.

We need to make sure we've got a support team with us,

and we don't get lured into some trap.

Stack up behind us, Cam.

[Cameron] Okay, here.

[Dean] All right, you ready? Go.

[tense music continues]

The target�� ran away from the position

and actually got himself into a tunnel system

here underneath the compound.

[gunshots]

[triumphant music playing]

[man 1] Go, go.

-[man 2 groans] -[Cameron] Go, go!

-[man 3 in Arabic] Hands up, surrender. -[man 2 screams]

-[in English] Put the weapon down! -[Cameron] Get down!

Get down, on the ground! Get down! On the ground!

[man 3 in Arabic] Hands up, surrender.

[Dean in English] I've got the target. Hey, Cam, get ready to take us out.

[Cameron] Okay. All right, boys. Prepare to exfil.

I'm glad we got him when we did, 'cause, man, this system is huge.

And mission looks like success,

but not until everybody gets home safe.

[man 3 in Arabic] Hurry. Go.

[Cameron in English] Let's go.

[man 4] Go.

[Cameron] Blue, blue, blue, blue.

[Dean] It's quite a dangerous position to be in. You don't know if it's a trap.

The primary aim of this mission was to capture the target.

It's part and parcel of the job. You just have to commit.

And what we'll do is get him out as quick as possible

to the extraction point.

[speaking Arabic]

Okay.

Good job, boys.

-[door closes] -[engine revving]

[Malek] Okay, guys. Good job.

Mission success.

-Appreciate it. Thank you. -Did you like my shot?

-Yeah. It was amazing. -[Cameron] Big shot, man.

[Malek] Okay, let's go.

[Cameron] All right.

-So, boys. -Boys.

Final mission. Done and done, huh?

-You always get the easy jobs. Is it? -Most important job.

Yeah. I mean, what would you have done without me?

Probably just assaulted it either way.

What's impressed me is an amazing training environment,

but it's the scale of it.

It's bigger than I've seen before. It's world-class.

Best I've seen in the desert.

This was a multidimensional, uh, final mission,

but I think we crushed it. This has been an awesome experience.

-[Ryan] Let's go. -Let's do it.

[Ryan] This setting is beautiful.

It's awesome being here and working with them.

The Jordanians bring you in,

and you really feel the camaraderie between us and them. I love it.

[tense music playing]

You arrived as guests, but now you leave as real brothers with us.

-Thank you. -And we have this one.

-It's for you. -Thank you very much.

-[Cameron] Look at that. -[Dean] Thank you.

[Cameron] Thank you. This means a lot. This week has been challenging.

The desert is, uh, no place for the fainthearted.

You've shown us that you are a force to be reckoned with,

not just in the desert, wherever you find yourself.

So, thank you for your time,

and it's been an absolute pleasure training with you.

Your brothers arranged, like, a VIP trip back to Amman.

[speaking Arabic]

[Ryan] What is it, helicopters?

-[camel grunts] -[Cameron] Oh boy.

[Ryan] What?

Look at the small one.

You've got the smallest camel in all of Jordan.

-It's for you. -[Cameron] The small one's for me?

-Oh man. Do they bite? -[triumphant music playing]

Make me look like Lawrence of Arabia.

-Yalla? -Yalla!

-[Cameron] I guess I get this tiny one. -[Ryan] Yeah.

Ooh.

[Murad] It's only a one-day trip. That direction there.

[Dean] We're going north, boys.

-[Ryan] I got you. Yeah. Come on. -[Cameron] He likes you.

[screams] Don't get lost!

-[Cameron] No promises. -They're in trouble.

[triumphant music ends]

[Cameron] Anybody bring water?

[Ryan] Next time��

So what we're doing is jungle lesson 101.

[Ryan] It is hot, sweaty, miserable.

It is not fun.

It's kind of mind-blowing.

These plants are responsible for a multibillion-dollar drug trade.

[whispers] Everyone's in position now.

[Cameron in Spanish] Police!

Hands up! Hands up!

[tense music playing]
