Taking Fire

101st Airborne rookies, McCool & Boucher, are deployed to Cop Michigan - one of the deadliest combat bases of the war. With standard issued gear, McCool packed a helmet camera, to document the year that would change the men in his platoon forever.

After three months in Afghanistan, the 101st Airborne suffers a devastating hit. For rookie medic Shreeve, one mistake and SGT Petry could be paralyzed. Shreeze 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 to get his men home safely, but it won't 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 Airborne 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.
