Introduction

Surviving the Cut was a military documentary/reality television series produced by 2 Roosters Media for the Discovery Channel.

It portrays the rigorous training programmes of various elite forces of the United States armed forces.

Outline

Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians or EOD are the only explosives and bomb specialists qualified for special operations.

Before a Navy EOD team can go to war with Special Forces, they must go through one final test.

Like the job itself, it is all-or-nothing training: A five-day, non-stop series of high stress missions.

Make the wrong move, allow fatigue or distraction to take over and the entire team will fail.

The team that survives the cut stays together as a certified special ops team.
