Hvad kræver det egentlig at blive elitesoldat? Hvor hårdt er det? Hvem er gjort af det rette stof? Det forsøger fire tidligere danske elitesoldater at give dig svaret på, når de tager 30 civile, veltrænede danske mænd under deres vinger og i otte dage lader dem prøve kræfter med et specialdesignet træningskursus, baseret på elitesoldaternes egne erfaringer fra både kamp og øvelser. Allerede i løbet af de første dage falder hammeren. Tungt. For et kursus drevet af elitestyrkerne kræver mere end bare ironman-form. Det må de 30 deltagere sande, når timelange øvelser, blodige vabler og dehydrering skærer voldsomt ned på feltet.
What does it really take to become an elite soldier? How hard is it? Who is made of the right stuff? This is what four former elite Danish soldiers are trying to give you the answer to when they take 30 civilian, well-trained Danish men under their wing and for eight days let them try their hand at a specially designed training course, based on the elite soldiers' own experiences from both combat and exercises. Already during the first days, the hammer falls. Heavy. Because a course run by the elite forces requires more than just ironman form. That's what the 30 participants have to admit when hour-long exercises, bloody blisters and dehydration severely cut down on the field.
