STARS EARN STRIPS: Patriotic Celebrities – Amphibious Assault

A new action-packed competition show that pays homage to the men and women who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces and our first-responder services. In this fast-paced competition, eight celebrities contestants will gather at a remote training facility where they will be challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises. Each celebrity will be teamed up with a special operative from a military branch or one of our first-responder forces, to train alongside their partners and compete in the missions with them. Each of the teams is competing for a cash prize on behalf of a military, veterans or first-responder charity.
