SINGAPORE - About 120 candidates showed up at the Special Forces Leadership School at Pasir Ris Camp in 2019 to take part in a gruelling two-week selection exercise.

Only a few of them passed the battery of tests for the Joint Special Forces Selection , and even fewer will emerge as an elite special forces trooper after the eight-month Special Forces Qualification Course.

Mr Mano Mahendran, 53, producer of the series, has been intrigued by the unit since he was a young recruit doing national service. Mr Mahendran, who also produced two 2018 Web video series on strenuous training in the Naval Diving Unit and Guards military formation, admits the short time span made filming a challenge:"There were no rehearsals or do-overs, and my team had to react and adapt quickly on the ground when things changed unexpectedly."

Candidates were put through strenuous tests at all hours, including carrying a truck tyre on their shoulders as a group. PHOTO: MINDEF
