EP1 First Contact Jul 01, 2013

Capt. Ben Middendorf must take his men into the most dangerous place in Afghanistan: the village of Keshmesh Khan in the Zamindawar region. Here, they must disrupt and destroy one of the last remaining pockets of resistance. Middendorf has not lost a single man, and he intends to keep it that way. Follow the 15-day operation that includes landing in the dead of night by helicopter with the Taliban waiting, and then patrolling the deadly open ground across the country's vast poppy fields.

EP2 Bobby Traps and Poppy Fields Jul 08, 2013

Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, under the command of Capt. Ben Middendorf, have 13 days for their mission of disrupting and destroying the Taliban, including destroying the Taliban's key funding sources: opium and heroin. Their next objective is Compound 10, a known drug baron's hideout. Capt. Middendorf splits his company into two squads and, accompanied by tanks, they enter the open fields of Afghanistan, totally exposed to fire and facing the even grimmer threat of IEDs.

EP3 Fighting Ghosts Jul 15, 2013

Golf Company is hard on the heels of a nearby Taliban command center in Zamindawar, one of the Taliban's last safe havens, which means they will do whatever it takes to defend it. Capt. Middendorf and his team manage weary and uncooperative citizens while battling “ghosts” — mysterious Taliban fighters who evaporate every time U.S. forces approach. When the biggest firefight of their operation erupts, Capt. Middendorf finds his chance to outmaneuver the enemy.

EP4 Trapped by the Taliban Jul 22, 2013

Golf Company, 14 days into their most grueling mission to date, have pinned down a Taliban command and control center. Taking it down means a night operation, and the threat of IEDs looms large. But before the mission is over, the men will still face a hair raising ride on an Osprey, and the challenge of keeping sharp in the face of exhaustion. And only weeks before heading home, they may have to face their worst nightmare.

EP5 Homeward Bound Jul 29, 2013

Golf Company is on the verge of finally heading home after they clear a narcotics processing center, but they have one final operation to complete — clear a nearby compound. The Marines are able to finish the job; however, on their way back to base, the men are separated by a fierce Taliban attack. As the assault increases in intensity, Capt. Middendorf's temporary HQ comes under heavy fire. Thankfully, Staff Sgt. Dusty Sampson comes to the rescue with his Javelin missile system.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
djronniebruno I gained a new found respect for the military when I saw what they go through on this show. The Marines are shown on a daily basis fighting directly with the Taliban. Battleground Afghanistan gives an insight into what these Marines go through fighting the war in Afghanistan. I found the show not only entertaining but educational as well. The characters featured in the show are likable and draw the viewer in with their different background stories and explanations. The guys featured are from the GOLF Co. and can only be called heroes as they go in hard on the enemy with a bravery that is admirable and skills that can only be found in the US Military. This show is a must see and will keep viewers on the edge of their seat.
