The Selection: Special Operations Experiment (8 x ) – Places 30 men and women with no military background through the most intense physical and mental challenge of their lives. Trained and led by veterans of the Navy SEALs, Green Berets and Army Rangers, these instructors drive those who are willing to push themselves to the limits of the human body and mind.
Special Operations units around the globe devise extreme training and assessment exercises in order to find the best of the best, however, 80 percent of those who attempt these tests quit. This series takes a diverse group of men and women between the ages of 21-45 years old on an epic journey of self-discovery, facing their biggest fears and testing their will to survive. Along the way, viewers will gain insight into the origin of each of the challenges facing the participants, as well as the purpose behind them.
Instructing the 30 civilian participants are six of the finest combat veterans that range across various U.S. Special Operations units including: Veteran Navy SEALs: Marcus Capone, Ray Care and Sean Haggerty; veteran Special Forces Green Berets Donnie Bowen and Bert Kuntz, and veteran Army Ranger Tyler Grey.
With the instructors challenging them both mentally and physically, including tear gas, interrogation simulation and psychological warfare among other tests, the participants are driven to the point of breaking and are able to remove themselves from the program at any stage. This is not a competition series – no cash rewards – only a test against oneself to see if the mind has the will and strength to push the body to complete the challenges.
