Summary |
The troops are within touching distance of their green berets but first they face Lympstone's ultimate challenge: the famous Commando Tests, four gruelling physical exercises that must be attempted over five consecutive days. The recruits of 169 troop are a tight-knit group who have pushed through 30 weeks of training together. They're desperate to finish the course as one but not every recruit will make it. For an unlucky few, one of whom has been trapped in training for an injury-plagued two years, these last hurdles bring failures and surprising misfortune that jeopardises their chances of ever becoming Royal Marines Commandos.
