Dom joins the US Army’s First Armoured Division at Fort Bliss, one of the largest military bases in the USA.

Dom joins the US Army’s First Armoured Division at Fort Bliss, one of the largest military bases in the USA. Nicknamed β€˜Old Ironsides’, the division has a proud history dating back to the Second World War and has fought more recently alongside British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dom’s mentor is PFC James Loper, a cavalry scout and armoured reconnaissance specialist with 18 months service under his belt. They travel into the desert to join the Iron Brigade on Operation Strike Focus, a month-long field exercise testing the combat readiness of troops and their weaponry. Training alongside conflict-zone veterans, under battlefield conditions, how will Dom cope under fire, and can he cut it as a soldier in the US Army?
