Episode 1

The first in an access-all-areas documentary series, narrated by Dexter Fletcher, giving an insight into how Kandahar Air Field - the biggest military base in the world, is run. A new RAF Regiment squadron arrives from the UK to guard the camp and they find it has lots to offer - fast food outlets, sports pitches and even a couple of massage parlours. An extreme contrast to what they face outside the wire – hostile territory, the Taliban and roadside bombs. The Harrier Jump Jets are scrambled to support troops in Helmand province. And as an antidote to the war the RAF hosts Kandahar's Strongest Man Contest to get the different nations competing together.
