Combat School documents the combat training and eventual deployment of infantry soldiers from 1 Platoon, Mike Company 3rd Battalion. The platoon of 40 men and women are followed through several months of training at CFB Petawawa, Ontario, CFB Wainwright, Alberta, and Fort Bliss, Texas. In the final episode, the soldiers are followed through their first two weeks in Afghanistan. In this episode, "One Platoon", the Platoon travels to Fort Bliss, Texas - an area with a terrain that mimics the arid Afghan topography - to begin training. Right from the start 1 Platoon encounters difficulties, leaving Major Oberwarth worried as the soldiers move into live fire exercises. <45mn 50s>
