Premise

Three very different brothers, each enlisted in the US Army, find themselves all stationed at the same post, the fictional Fort McGee, located in Florida. While the majority of the base is deployed overseas, the two younger brothers (Derrick and Randy) are assigned to rear detachment – the soldiers left behind to take care of the base. The oldest brother, Staff Sergeant Pete Hill, is demoted to sergeant and forced to return stateside from Afghanistan after punching a superior officer. He is assigned to supervise a platoon of misfits that includes his brothers. While working together, the brothers are able to renew and strengthen their childhood bonds.[7]

Staff Sergeant Pete Hill is sent home from Afghanistan for assaulting a superior and is forced to return to the US. Upon his return, he is made the platoon sergeant of a group of misfits at Florida-based Fort McGee that includes his two younger brothers, Derrick and Randy. Pete's sergeant major, Command Sergeant Major Cody, gives his platoon the task of finding a lost dog that belongs to the family of a deployed soldier. Pete's platoon is moments away from winning a war games exercise against a group of Italian troops when the dog is spotted in the battlefield, causing Pete to choose between winning the war games or rescuing the dog.
2"Randy Get Your Gun"Phil TraillJeff Chiang & Eric ZiobrowskiJanuary 17, 2014 (2014-01-17)1AWV052.01[9]
After Pete and Perez tie for the base marksmanship trophy, they embark on a series of additional competitions to try and break the tie. Meanwhile, Randy is the only member of his troop to fail the marksmanship test, so Derrick steps in with some unusual training methods to prepare his brother for a retest.
3"Pete's Airstream"Matt SohnTheresa Mulligan RosenthalJanuary 24, 2014 (2014-01-24)1AWV023.23[10]
Randy wants Pete to move in with him and Derrick but Pete just wants to get away from everyone at the end of the day, so he buys a trailer away from the barracks. Meanwhile, Robinson and Park challenge Perez's desire to be an enigma who keeps her work and private lives separate.
4"Homecoming"Michael McDonaldScott RutherfordJanuary 31, 2014 (2014-01-31)1AWV092.79[11]
Command Sergeant Major Cody meets with USMC Sergeant Major Diggins to discuss an upcoming Army-Marine flag football game and make a wager on the results of the game. In his barracks room, Randy becomes emotional watching several military homecoming videos on the internet. The brothers overhear Erin, a single mother who's ex-husband is deployed, upset because she can't get the day off from her bartending job to take her son Sam to Walt Disney World for his birthday. Pete suggests to Derrick that he offers to take Sam in her place but all Sam wants is for his father to come home. Randy indirectly convinces Cody to call in some favors to get Sam's father home after suggesting a homecoming ceremony at the upcoming game. At the game, the Army does terribly against the Marines but is able to score one touchdown, winning the bet with the Marines. After the game, Sam's father comes onto the field and embraces both Sam and Erin. Pete and Derrick show Randy a reunion tape with their father that took place while their mother was still pregnant with Randy.
