It's Army versus Navy in USC's first "Coed Edition." Steven and Jennifer, from the U.S. Army, face off against Matt and Adrienne, from the Navy. And both teams compete against the "Rogue" wild card team--private contractors Corey and Rebecca.

The hard-hitting U.S. Army Rangers and Britain's battle-tested Royal Air Force Regiment square off against each other--and against a "Rogue" squad of private Military Contractors--combat vets who now fight for the highest bidder.

July 10th 1943. The Allied armies launch the first major attack against Hitler's Fortress in Europe. Over the next thirty-eight days, half a million Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen will fight a bloody battle of attrition.

The Harlem Hellfighters documents the hard fighting regiment of Black soldiers, who battled shocking racism at home and abroad while fighting the Germans in World War I. The Hellfighters, who saw more time on the frontlines than any other American regiment, were initially heralded upon their return only to quickly be discarded by the Army and country they served so valiantly. This one-hour documentary tells the important story of this courageous group, who included bandleader James Reese Europe and Purple Heart winner Henry Johnson. Their extreme bravery earned them the French regimental Croix de Guerre a century before the U.S. finally recognized their contributions to the war effort with a Congressional Gold Medal.

Host R. Lee Ermey, dressed in the uniform of a Civil War Marine Corps sergeant, dedicates the entire half-hour to the Civil War, answering a slew of email questions about the guns and gear used in the War between the States.

R. Lee Ermey compares Civil War rifles from both sides; learns about the first missile fired from the deck of a sub; compares the Navy's Mark 21 deep-sea suit, used for depths as far as 300 feet below surface, to "crush-proof" suits.

How do the Marines train snipers? What kind of hand signals do our soldiers use? How did the Viet Cong manage to bring so many supplies into South Vietnam on the primitive Ho Chi Minh Trail?

What puts the "super" in the Marines' attack helicopter, the AH-1W Super Cobra' As long as we're talking snakes, why are there so many AIM (Air Intercept Missile) Sidewinders' Why do many consider the C-54 Skymaster transport plane the true hero'

Shot on location, R. Lee Ermey reads viewers' questions about the armed forces on air and then sends them out to military experts in the field for answers and brief demonstrations. In this episode, we learn how grenade launchers work.

R. Lee Ermey applies his gruff sense of humor while answering viewers' mail about the armed forces. This week we find out about the Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge, used by combat engineers.

R. Lee Ermey checks out the Marine Corps' Avenger Air Defense System; explains the difference in the Stinger and Red Eye missile that replaced it; finds out how military firefighters train differently than their civilian counterparts.

In a challenge best suited for a British battlefield in the Middle Ages, contestants test their skills with the Black Widow Long Bow. But as they fire arrows toward targets set up like ski-ball, the marksmen realize the challenge is more than they bargained for. Two confront the prospect of elimination and must adapt to the revolutionary Gatling Gun to stay in the game.

The fate of twelve rests on a roll of the dice. The competitors break into squads for a fierce side-by-side shoot out with the 1875 Remington Pistol. But fortune doesn't favor two, who must fire against the clock with the Ruger 1022 Rifle in an old-fashioned shooting gallery challenge. One will fall short and one will continue on to battle it out for the ultimate prize.

It's been said that war is 90% boredom mixed with 10% sheer terror. The Allied servicemen of WWII spent a majority of their time in what normally would be called "everyday" activities.

Robots that think, move like humans and fight our wars--Real Terminators--may now be possible. At leading universities and covert government labs, robots are now being developed in man's image.
