HISTORYCHANNEL

Facing the biggest challenge of their lives, the candidates must complete a field training exercise, during which everything they have learned will be used in order to pass the different stages, and only those who finish will pass "The Selection."

The Selection: Special Operations Experiment

March of Tears

Instructor Care leads the participants through an exercise he calls "integrity stations;" after one candidate fails to complete the course, Care must determine whether or not to let this individual continue.

Humility

The remaining candidates go on a forced "ruck" march with 50 pounds on their backs; a poor performance by one candidate attracts special attention, while another candidate reaches his mental breaking point.

Seed of Doubt

Instructor Bowen leads the group in a class on hand-to-hand combat before the candidates face off against each other; the group is led to a swimming pool where the Navy SEALs put the remaining candidates through the most dangerous exercise yet.

Pass, Quit, or Drown

In a stealth and concealment exercise, the participants go out on the ultimate game of hide and seek, where they are tasked with camouflaging themselves in a hide-site to evade detection by the instructors.

Weeding Out the Weak

The instructors send the remaining 15 participants to rescue a downed pilot, an exercise designed to test the group's teamwork as well as the leadership of a select few; Instructor Haggerty leads the team on an unbelievable physical feat.

Man in the Arena

The instructors lead a grueling day of Navy SEAL training in the Pacific Ocean, where exercises in surf immersion, land portage and extreme exposure to the cold push the participants to the edge.

Hell & High Water

U.S. Special Operations combat veterans instruct 30 civilian participants who undergo extreme training and assessment exercises, including interrogations and tear gas exposure; many of the participants will quit before day one comes to an end.
