First Platoon: The U.S. Marines in Snow Country |
|
To become a United States Marine, you must learn to fight in four different
extreme weather conditions. One of them is the extreme cold - with tons of
snow. There are few better places to practice fighting in snow conditions
than north of the Arctic circle.
This PBS primetime special follows a platoon of Marines on an exercise in
North Norway. It digs into the snow, and it digs into the characters of
these extraordinary men. It shows them engaged in practice combat with the
famous White Death Ski Troops of Norway. It is extremely detailed and
reveals many techniques of how Marines prepare and fight under extreme
stress.
