Hosted by General Wesley Clark (retired) and Samantha Harris, this competition series features celebrities such as boxing champion Laila Ali and actor Dean Cain gathering at a remote training facility where they are challenged to execute missions inspired by actual military exercises.

Each celebrity is paired with a special operative from a military branch or a member of the first-responder forces, and will participate in activities ranging from helicopter drops into water to long-range weapons fire. Each contestant is tested physically, mentally and emotionally, all in the name of competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first-responder charity.
