Join 48 of the nation's most elite troops as they embark on a month-long training program for a highly-specialized form of parachute freefall called HALO – High Altitude, Low Opening – used by the military to infiltrate enemy territory. The stakes are high and the risks higher as the men are pushed to the limit of their abilities in the world's most dangerous classroom. Follow HALO recruits through ground school at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina, where they practice freefall maneuvers in the Vertical Wind Tunnel. It's a massive fan – dubbed "the dragon" – that blows air straight up at a brisk 150 mph. But, HALO training is even faster. After just five days of trying to slay the dragon, recruits move on to the airstrip at Yuma, Arizona and prepare to put their newfound skills to the test. At 12,500 feet above the earth, the only way to the top of the class is to go straight down. HALO: Freefall Warriors 1 DVD HALO: Freefall Warriors 2 DVD
