Chain of Command begins with a look at the efforts of U.S. and Iraqi forces to regain control of eastern Mosul — the front lines of the war on extremism.

The battle for western Mosul begins, a unit deploys for Afghanistan and the war against extremism stretches to the Caribbean island of Trinidad.

American officials search for dangerous migrants in Colombia; back home, husband and wife Marines prepare for deployment to Afghanistan.

While coalition forces in Iraq gain ground in Mosul, in Trinidad and Tobago, local Muslim leaders are the tip of the spear in the fight against ISIS.

The war on terror looks different across the world. At Camp Shorab in Afghanistan, a group of Marines prepare to return home, but are surrounded by reminders of the dangers still haunting the country.
