It's Survivor Mohave Desert with camoflage, guns, explosions and egos too large for the small screen. No active duty military involved. Most of those, and Baz, the CIA guy, are actors, technical advisors or trainers, or are known to the Survivor/ECO Challenge producer Mark Burnett. The cops apparently are all active/current officers, hence, their advantage.
Entertaining, but not a must see.
