Surviving the Cut - Season 2 - Eps 5: US Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment Enlisted Green Platoon
When America's most elite Special Operations Forces need assault and attack helicopter support, there's one unit they want to provide it: the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). They have the equipment and special tactics required to get the job done, often under the most remote and hostile conditions. They take the riskiest missions with the most severe consequences. Every soldier in the regiment must be Special Operations material. Green Platoon is where they prove they have what it takes. For six weeks, they are pushed through a barrage of mental and physical stress testing: escape and evasion, long-distance land navigation, hand-to-hand combat, special weapons, and emergency medical response skills are front and center. If you can't achieve these skills while under the pressure of non-stop punishment, you will not survive the cut. 1 in 3 will not make it.
