Young Soldiers

Countdown to Afghan (1x3)

:

Darren Meads and Andrew Forti have now graduated as British soldiers and are preparing to join their new battalion, 1 Rifles, in a six-month countdown to their deployment to Afghanistan. Their company Commander, Major Carl Boswell, aka Chuckles, has to prepare Meads, Forti and the rest of the 110 men of A company, for frontline combat. As the deployment date gets closer, the stark reality of deploying to such a dangerous war zone starts to hit home for all the soldiers and their families.
