After great stress during exercise Istapp, the aspirants will receive new feedback from commanders. While some even want to retire, others are considering sending the commander home.

The aspirants continue Exercise Istapp, where they have to drag lead-heavy sleds up an almost 800 meter high mountain. But not everyone is able to contribute equally, and that goes beyond the morale of parts of the group.

Without food, the aspirants are sent out on a long winter exercise. Along the way, they are faced with the most demanding and terrifying exercise in Kompani Lauritzen's history.

After a night of little sleep, it turns out that cooperation and communication are still difficult for the squad. And for many it will be an emotional day.

Without knowing how long they will be gone, the aspirants are sent into the forest. There they quickly learn that a camp is not necessarily used for sleeping.

When the recruits have to throw themselves from a height of 14 metres, several are paralyzed by fear. The colonel reveals who deserves to go on as aspirants.

After a relatively calm start, the recruits' physical characteristics are challenged in several exercises. It quickly becomes clear that many have great potential for improvement.

The recruits' cooperation skills are put to the test. The commander is not impressed by everything they see, which becomes apparent when assessments are to be given in military terms.

12 young adults arrive in Setnesmoen to be helped by Dag Otto and his experienced command team. The encounter with the military regime is not easy for everyone to cope with.
