Synopsis:
Sgt. Rock and Easy Company receive orders to hold their position at all costs. Enemy troops begin approaching their position and many of the soldiers worry that they will die in order to hold the position.

Rock tells the men a story of another time he had to hold at all costs in the desert of North Africa while still a private. Easy lost many men, but was able to take the fight to the enemy and prevail.

Before Rock can finish his story, the enemy attacks. Just as Easy Company did in the desert, they charge the enemy and defeat the attackers. Though many men are lost, Easy successfully holds their position.
