"Special Ops Mission" on the Military Channel

[Argus]

Anyone else watch "Special Ops Mission" on the Military Channel? It's on right now, and I've been watching it for the past couple of weeks.

Basically it's one guy completing a mission against an opfor of usually 4 or 5 operators, using simunitions. In this particular episode he's infiltrating an enemy camp that houses weapons of mass destruction. He's supposed to document and/or destroy the WMD then get out without getting killed.

Being strictly a chairborne ranger, I don't know how realistic it is or how good the tactics are, but I do find the show to be entertaining, and the host's creds (Wil Willis) seem to be authentic. I've noticed a couple of scenes that seemed staged or maybe re-filmed, but overall like the show. Better than watching Dancing With the Stars anyway.

So what say you?

I have watched every episode so far. Its kinda of a mixed somethings are ok others like the sniper shoot I think were staged. My main complaint the opfor never have anytime to set up patrols by the time they do he has already inside the patrol perimeter.

I've seen it, I was never Spec-op either but it was better than man versus wild. I liked the one where it concluded with him escaping in an ultralite aircraft.
Good points Thomas. It is very cat/mouse.

Are you talking about Andy Maknab the British SAS because I don't remember MR Whisky \Whisky evacing with a ultralight. I remember Andy evacing with an ultralight on one of his episodes. Andy was good at setting bobytraps I don't remember him ever getting into a firefight .

I've seen it and thought it was a pretty descent series.

I was never special ops, but I will say the tactics Whiskey Whiskey uses sucks at times and I especially hate the dumb ass comments he makes too.

I like the show that was on USA Network that was on a few years ago better.

I think you are right, I am talking about a different show, sorry, havent seen this one.

[sadmin]

for me, i will tune in, but not good enough to dvr. scripted seems to be an understatement. some of the opfor that they recruit come from TOS I think. but yes, better than dancing with the stars.

I think what you are talking about was an escape and evasion show wasn't it. Like man tracker or something like that? A bunch of middle aged guys trying to track down a guy before he made it out to a pick up area.
