brief title

A British army Parachute Regiment recruit is suffering from exhaustion on a rigorous assault course conducted over rough terrain and into water. He emerges dripping from the water jump and back into the forest accompanied by instructors who shout encouragement and abuse to get the candidate to a successful stage of this test. This forms part of the 14-week long Pegasus (P) Company selection programme that recruits wanting to join the British Army's elite Parachute Regiment, held regularly at Catterick army barracks in Yorkshire, need to pass (with other tests) before earning the right to wear the esteemed maroon beret.
