Synopsis:
Easy Company is joined by a new recruit. Rock tells the kick to follow his every move, so he will know when to take cover and when to fight. The kid follows Rock and becomes known as Shadow. He copies each of Rock's action including putting himself in the line of fire to protect the other soldiers. Rock worries about the kid, but Shadow proves himself by helping Rock destroy a bridge that enemy tanks are using to move across a river.
