WARRIORS FACE-OFF IN DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S ONE MAN ARMY

What do you get when you pit military, extreme sports and law enforcement operatives against one another? Discovery Channel will present ONE MAN ARMY, a competition series which sees the toughest of the tough go head to head in events that would sideline regular contestants in an instant. The series 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 USD$10,000 cash prize and the coveted title of ONE MAN ARMY.

Hosted by Mykel Hawke, U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and former Green Beret, ONE MAN ARMY will air on Discovery Channel every night at 10 pm, premiering February 6th, 2012.

Each episode of ONE MAN ARMY 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 Mixed Martial Arts (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. Speed challenges focus on agility, quickness and reflexes, including elements such as target shooting, crossing a laser-filled room without touching a beam, and the Houdini-like water coffin test, in which competitors must escape from a sealed, water-filled container. Power, endurance and brute force are essential for the strength challenges, which include breaking through a series of walls using different tactics, a tug-of-war (with unexpected elements diabolically thrown in) and having to dig underground tunnels to make their way through a course. Intelligence rounds involve quick thinking and include challenges such as figuring out the best tactics to escape from a locked cell, and a deceptively difficult challenge which forces competitors to free themselves from a rope hanging them upside down. The operative with the slowest time in each round is knocked out of the competition.

Tune in for the action and find out which challenger will master speed, show his strength, and outsmart his opponents to be the ONE MAN ARMY.
