Episode Synopsis
When a NATO convoy carrying fuel and water comes under attack on Highway 1, U.S. soldiers must try to hold off a Taliban ambush for hours and protect the hundreds of vehicles under assault. As the soldiers run out of ammo, their tactics grow desperate. Then, when Marines patrolling a canal in Helmand province are blindsided by a brutal ambush, a soldier risks his life running straight into the line of fire to rescue a brother pinned down by the enemy.
