Take an inside look into the latest military tactics and technology being used by the U.S. in the War on Terror.

Enter the rocky terrain of Afghanistan, a landscape that has served both as a showcase for some of the newest warfare technology and a reminder of the need for old-fashioned training and readiness.

Low-flying, heavily-armed Apache helicopters engage in firefights. Bunker-busting bombs penetrate into the mountains, detonating inside and destroying Taliban and Al-Qaeda cave hideouts.

But it's the Special Forces troops on the ground that make these strikes possible, by calling in attack coordinates to their airborne brethren.

In this new era of warfare, victory requires successfully coordinating the precision of high-tech weaponry with the power of the basic soldier.

You'll follow the training exercises these courageous warriors must complete in order to deal with the many challenges they face.

Then watch as they head into real-world battle in Operation : Anaconda as a part of the largest contingent of ground troops since the Gulf War.
