Part 1: D-Day: Fallujah
November 2004 - Fallujah, Iraq has become a viper pit. Over the last six months, this once holy city has become the center of gravity for the Iraqi insurgency with Al Qaeda terrorists and Islamic radicals from across the Muslim world congregating here to resist the US occupation.

Part 3: Wild West
Savage. Sadistic. Often Justified. The western frontier triggered many a shootout. The motivation? Scuffles over money. Women. Religion. Sometimes just a dirty look triggered a melee. Western shootouts were messy, drunken, and deadly affairs. The vision of two gunslingers meeting in the street at high noon is pure myth. Shootouts were typically up close and personal.

Part 4: WWII: Assault on Germany
In 1944 Ike's order was short and to the point: Destroy the German army. If successful, the Allied Forces would win the war in Europe. To American GI's that meant defeating a foe bent on defending his homeland at all cost. Shootout: Assault on Germany recounts and reenacts the vivid combat experiences of American soldiers who participated in one of the greatest military campaigns of World War II.

Their mission: seize the Iraqi capital as quickly as possible.

Part 6: North Hollywood Shootout
It's a high stakes heist gone bad....an urban shooting spree that rivals battles in war torn Iraq. It's one of the most violent shootouts in American police history. It takes place in the "bank robbery capital of the world" -- Los Angeles. Television cameras on the ground and in the air capture the shootout live. Two paramilitary-style gunmen take over a bank using terrorist technology.

Part 7: WWII: The Pacific
The Pacific Ocean is a vast emptiness, where World War Two is fought on tiny specks of land. As the big battles unfold, soldiers come face-to-face at close quarters with their enemies.

Part 9: Iraq's Ambush Alley
A battalion of U.S. Marines from North Carolina descends on the city of An Nasiriyah to capture two strategic bridges. It is supposed to be easy. And the city is supposed to be friendly.

Part 10: Hunt for Bin Laden
If you thought the war in Afghanistan was over, think again. Young Americans continue to fight and die as they pursue Osama bin Laden, battle with Al Qaida, and destroy the last remnants of the Taliban regime. Fighting a tenacious enemy across searing deserts and frigid mountain peaks requires strong weaponry and sound tactics. These American veterans had both. Marine Gunnery Sergeant William Bodette shows us how he fought off three enemy ambushes in one month and lived to tell the tale. Three National Guardsmen --

Part 11: Battle Cry Iraq: Ramadi
As Marines approach Saddam's stronghold, insurgents issue a warning: "Today we are going to kill Americans." That was the warning to shopkeepers in Ramadi's local marketplace on April 6, 2004. Insurgents meant what they said. They intended to harm any and all members of Echo Company -- part of the Second Battalion of the Fourth Marine Regiment.
