| Special
Ops Mission |
Special
operations is all about the intensity of the chase and the
fear of capture. They are so extreme and so covert that
the public generally only sees snippets of fictitious missions
played out in the movies. In Military Channel's new series
Special Ops Mission, viewers get to experience the danger,
excitement and heart-pounding action of real life special
operations as they are immersed in a diverse set of simulated
scenarios. In each episode, special forces operator Wil
Willis must complete a seemingly impossible mission using
his military expertise spanning over 15 years in special
operations with both the U.S. Army Rangers and the U.S.
Air Force Pararescuemen. With audiences watching every move,
his task is to complete a complex series of military objectives
while trying to survive, evade and escape an Opposition
Force that is determined to stop him. Willis faces a new
mission in each episode- ranging anywhere from infiltrating
a terrorist camp high in the mountains, making his way through
an enemy stronghold in an urban environment, or even climbing
aboard a moored ship overtaken by pirates - and a new "Op
For" team whose only objective is to stop Willis. The
closest most viewers will ever get to experience a genuine
covert operation, Special Ops Mission follows Willis as
he tests his marksmanship, instincts and military skills
throughout these dramatic scenarios.
Willis's vast array of military training has earned him
tactical skill sets that are unparalleled by most. Willis
guides viewers through each episode of Special Ops Mission,
providing a first-person look at how special operation forces
must take on a diverse set of challenges and game-time decisions
to complete each mission. Each new assignment includes tactical
goals that will stretch his abilities to the utmost, requiring
Willis to successfully maneuver through difficult terrain
varying from arid deserts to steamy rain forests and snow-covered
mountains to urban back streets - all while fighting to
keep ahead of the "Op For" pursuit team hunting
him down. Documenting these operations is Willis himself,
armed only with a handheld camera and another mounted on
his gun, giving viewers the unique perspective of traveling
alongside Willis and exposing them to some of the real-life
dangers special operations forces can meet across the globe.
