Full synopsis
Synopsis: Johnny Blackwater and three of his Cheyenne friends, prepare for their biggest challenge, going from Brave to warrior within their tribe. Two days, with only two arrows and a knife, the four braves had to return to the tribe with a kill of at least a doe or buck. Their reward was becoming a warrior.

After a ceremony, at tribal council, Johnny and Sam got to choose their mate from all available maidens in the tribe.

The four warriors then enter the U. S. Army together, and go through Boot Camp together, but because of their exceptional abilities with accuracy, running, and other challenges they faced, the four warriors were pulled from boot camp before their completion of training. Akll four men were assigned to a special military demolition squad in preparation for the upcoming war in Iraq, eventually known as Desert Storm.

After proving themselves for their special training, the four warriors head to Iraq and become part of the war there, serving as spotters for the demolition team. Their purpose was to safely get the demolition team to a designated area and make sure the same team got back safely.

By the end of Desert Storm, the four warriors return home to a hero's welcome.
