101st Airborne rookies are deployed to COP Michigan in Afghanistan.

After three months in Afghanistan, the 101st Airborne suffers a devastating hit. For Rookie medic, Shreeve, one mistake and SGT Petry will be paralyzed. Shreeve shoulders the responsibility - unaware that the next soldier calling for help might be him.

After four months in Afghanistan, SGT Adams now has stronger reasons to make it back home alive. He is also more determined than ever before to get his men home safely - but it won' be easy, as the men are getting desensitized to the non-stop fire.

It's the Afghan election. RPGs rain in on the COP and at Outpost Pride Rock, the soldiers face a grueling battle - with brutal consequences.

The 101st prepares to leave Afghanistan. After a year in the Korangal the soldiers are changed men but six years and a reunion later promises some peace.
