Kompani Lauritzen: Tropp - Episode Guide

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Ten young adults who want help with challenges they have in their lives, turn up at Setnesmoen camp, to take part in Dag Otto Lauritzen's military self-development programme.

It is the first day in the recruits' new life. It starts with a slightly panicked meeting with the ensign and the requirements for order and cleanliness, and they are challenged to cooperate in their first exercise.

Is there meaning in the meaningless? The recruits are set to fill and move sandbags ad infinitum. And when the evening comes, a night of vigil awaits with Exercise falkeblikk.

After a long and cold night awake, more cold awaits, and even greater mental challenges, in Øvelse råk. Back in camp, the commander gives the recruits their first assessment in the first MF of the year.

The recruits are sent out on their first day in the field, and for some it is the first time they sleep in a tent.

The recruits are introduced to first aid, which they benefit from when they find the colonel and the major bloody on the side of the road.

At the last major test as recruits, it is decided whether they can continue in the squad and be accepted as aspirants. The råka are reunited, but this time they have to dive from råka to råka.

In the last part of Ice Ice Training, the recruits climb many heavy meters of altitude with skis and sleds. Once at the top, the feeling of mastery reaches new heights. Back in camp, the recruits proudly line up for the aspirant ceremony.

On their first day as aspirants, the squad gets to meet Bob and his family. It is a day characterized by stress, and which puts caring aspirant Åteigen to the test.

The aspirants are woken up at dawn and are sent out on the march in Exercise flag stress. The flag post that gives the highest score is the classic and feared backwards plunge, four and a half meters above the water surface in Isfjorden.

The aspirants are sent out on their first mission, and must manage without support from the commander. A branch of the Company's main enemy has occupied Felleskjøp's grain reception at Vestnes. The region is dependent on Tropp 2 regaining control of the reception.

It gets loud and airy when the aspirants have to go out on a beam outside a house roof, to take in the laundry, which Colonel Lauritzen has hung high above the ground for the occasion.

The enemy has struck again, and the squad must come to the rescue. The aspirants are told that they must immediately be introduced to elementary blasting techniques, survival, and not least be taught how to jump out of a plane with a parachute.

The aspirants must deprive the enemy of control of the Goldfish, the Colonel's new high-tech boat, and the boatyard where it is located. They must be deployed behind enemy lines, and must jump out over the fjord by parachute. Not everyone feels sure that they will make it happen.

The aspirants receive new orders from the Major. They make their way to the enemy's fuel depot up in the mountains, to prepare an ambush the next day. The aspirants get a freezing night outside, before they make their way to the enemy's depot and get ready to explode. There they get bad news.

The aspirants are preparing for another night in the freezing cold. The next morning they finally blow up the fuel depot and ambush the enemy, only to find that the operation takes yet another turn. But everything has an end, and those who have persevered to the end get their well-deserved honor, and the orange beret on their head.

25 young adults have to go through a series of tests, exercises and intake interviews. The encounter with the military regime is not easy for everyone to cope with.

The recruits' first meeting with Bømoen camp will be a tough meeting with military order and discipline.

The indentation reactions continue when internal service and the first inspection of the season are to be carried out.

In the fire attack exercise, the recruits must take the colonel and the major on their stretchers, safely back to camp. The march becomes difficult and several are fainting.

The feedback in military terms continues and when the recruits have to throw themselves from a height of 14 metres, several are paralyzed by fear.

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

The aspirants continue Exercise Istapp, where they have to drag lead-heavy sledges up a mountain over 900 meters high. Several struggle to complete the exercise.

The colonel is proud that more than 100 recruits have been through his education and on that occasion an aspirant ball will be organized at the venerable Fleischer's hotel.

The aspirants will go on what is by far the longest period in the field. A new camp must be established on the mountain, and there are many things that need to be put in place. An aspirant has had enough and chooses to withdraw from Troop 3.

The first night in the field is difficult for several aspirants and an unfortunate encounter with the heating stove in the tent leads to smoke which puts one of the aspirants out of action.

Life in the field continues and now the aspirants will learn basic sanitation and several will have an unpleasant encounter with a nasal chanterelle.

The aspirants must carry out a breakneck mission where they must retrieve the highly radioactive substance ottonium from the water under the ice in one of the enemy's research stations.

The aspirants must go up in height when, in pairs, they have to rappel down a silo over 40 meters high. Several people are afraid of heights and have to get help from their partner to get down.

A situation has led to the company's entire existence being in danger, and the aspirants must receive basic training in deploying with a parachute.

The plane of one of the company's best men is missing. Our aspirants must parachute into hostile territory to find out what happened to the plane and the pilot.

"Lille Måltrost" is located and leads the aspirants on a new and dangerous mission. They must destroy the highly radioactive and dangerous ottonium that must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Unfortunately, the enemy has a cunning plan.

7 young adults are invited to participate with one of their parents. At Bømoen camp, they will go through a tough regime, characterized by military discipline, spectacular exercises and honest feedback to experience what really lives inside them.

The family couples will be doing their first mastery exercise together in a new variation of the classic Tower Jump exercise.

Now the older ones will compete against the younger ones in the toughest exercise yet. In each team, they will each bring an injured soldier safely back to camp. The march with full gear will be the toughest of all, and several of the parents are considering participating.

The recruits are given weapons and in the exercise "Care under fire", they must work in family pairs through a combat path full of enemies to save as many injured soldiers as possible.

Without food, the recruits are sent out on Exercise Hurramegrundt. The first thing they encounter is Exercise Ispinne, which involves them swimming in family pairs from hole to hole under the ice.

A recruit chooses to withdraw, taking his family mate home with him. With toothpicks on their shoulders, the recruits continue into several meaningless tasks before having to observe flashes of light throughout the night.

Now only the top push exercise remains, the last exercise in the admission to the aspirant period. In family pairs, they must make their way to the top of Sollikamben, 800 meters above sea level. The exercise is too tough for several of the family pairs who are unable to complete it.

The aspirants get a rude awakening with Bob, before the platoon's first corporal must keep track of his fellow soldiers until inspection.

The Night Swarmers, brazen as they are, have set up camp in the company's own backyard - right under the Colonel's watchful but unsuspecting gaze. To stop them before it's too late, the aspirants must venture into enemy territory under the cover of night, through a breakneck aerial journey.

One of the aspirants has had enough and must return home with a very disappointed family member. The aspirants are then sent out into the field without knowing how long they will have to stay.

Field life continues and several of the aspirants have had a bad night in the tent, and are anxious about how long they will be there.

Life in the field continues – but now without the necessary clothing and equipment. Commanded, the aspirants learn the most basic survival skills: lighting a fire, building a shelter, and trusting their instincts.

A new day looms. Just when everyone thinks they're finally going to return to camp, reality hits back hard - Exercise Survival continues unabated.

During Exercise Isolation, doubt reaches new heights. Several consider resigning – and with it, shattering their dream of the orange beret.

The aspirants wake up tired and weary to what was supposed to be a quiet day, which is suddenly turned upside down – intelligence has revealed that the Night Swarmers are on the trail of the last Ottonium stone.

In order to don the orange beret, the aspirants must complete the most dangerous mission of their lives.
