Those Damn Engineers

Episode 4 • Mar 23, 2016
The Battle for Sugar Loaf
Taking an otherwise nondescript hill on the embattled island of Okinawa proved to be one of the most incredible battles of WWII. The young weary marines of Charlie Company strained against the searing Pacific sun to see the top of Sugar Loaf Hill.

Bloody George at the Chosin Reservoir
This is the untold true story of "Bloody George," an understrength, undermanned, marine rifle company, hastily called to serve their country in 1950 at the start of the Korean War. Their courage would be legendary, their fight, epic.
Episode 6 • Apr 13, 2014
A Chance in Hell: The Battle for Ramadi
When Col. MacFarland arrived in Iraq's deadliest city, the odds could not have been worse. Al-Qaeda has arrogantly declared Ramadi, capital of a new caliphate. The boys of MacFarland's Ready First Combat Team would fight to give America a clear victory.
