Elite warriors in One Man Army

MANILA, Philippines - What do you get when you pit military, extreme sports and law enforcement operatives against one another? One Man Army, a competition series which sees the toughest of the tough go head to head in events that will sideline regular contestants in an instant. Hosted by Mykel Hawke, U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and former Green Beret, One Man Army airs on Discovery Channel Monday nights at 10 with encores every Tuesday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 8 p.m.

In the dangerous, unpredictable world of covert operations, counterterrorism, elite combat and law enforcement, only the fastest, strongest and smartest survive. In each episode, Hawke (from Discovery Channel’s Man, Woman, Wild) puts four of the deadliest humans in America through three separate challenges of speed, strength and intelligence. One by one, they are eliminated until one stands alone as the winner of a $10,000 cash prize and the coveted title of One Man Army.

Each episode features four new competitors, including men from the Navy Seals, Marines, Air Force, Army, U.S. Marshals Service, SWAT and other law enforcement agencies, as well as top fighters from MMA and other extreme sports. Meet each competitor as they reveal their background, motivation, expertise, and discover why their specific training either gives them a leg up or is a liability in each of the challenges.

The challenges put forth to the competitors are designed to test if they have the skills necessary for real life survival and combat.
