After Nazi soldiers enter the town and snarl the roads, three Americans are trapped by the German advance. The Americans plan to make a patrol around the back of the hill to scout the Nazi positions and launch a counter-attack. The soldiers engage the enemy forces in combat, culminating in an explosive clash marked by the sound effect "WHAMM."
When Lippy Shugrue, S Sgt. Mazolak, and Captain Leeswald find themselves trapped behind Nazi lines during the Ardennes offensive, they discover a hidden French Resistance radio room in the mayor's house—now serving as a German command post. The three soldiers race against time to transmit vital intelligence about the Nazi staging area while creating enough chaos to cover their tracks and protect the local civilians caught in the crossfire.
When Captain Wiley Scott's photo-reconnaissance jet flames out over the Yalu River in November 1950, he's forced down deep in Chinese territory with nothing but his wits and the intelligence he's gathered about enemy troop movements and fuel supplies. Stranded behind enemy lines and unable to escape with the vital information, Scott devises a desperate plan to sabotage the Chinese supply lines and disrupt their massive river crossing. What he sets in motion transforms the Yalu into an inferno, buying precious time for American forces to prepare for the coming assault.
In October 1944 on Leyte, newly arrived Major Degan clashes with Lt. Ben Crawford when the lieutenant refuses a reckless attack order and strikes the major to prevent the slaughter of their company—a decision that lands Crawford in a court-martial. Though the charges are dismissed thanks to a wounded soldier's testimony, Crawford is transferred to Charley Company, a outfit of troublemakers and misfits, only to discover they're far from the disorganized group he expected. When a patrol Crawford leads stumbles upon a massive Japanese force massing for a counterattack, he and his men must hold their ground against overwhelming odds to buy time for the division to reposition.
