Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan spent four days inside The Sabalauski Air Assault School in the Fort Campbell Army Installation on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. According to the Army, Air Assault operations involve missions requiring the insertion and evacuation of personnel and equipment using assault helicopters. The training is divided into three phases: combat assault, sling-load operations, and rappelling. But before phase one begins, all students must survive "day zero," which culminates with an obstacle course featuring two major events that all students must conquer — otherwise they are dropped from training before phase one begins.</blockquote>
