synopsis
Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his men are assigned to provide coverage for a wire-laying team led by Communications Sergeant Barney McKloskey (played by a pre-Hawaii 5-0 Jack Lord). Openly contemptuous of the Infantry, McKloskey is certain that Saunders will be of no help at all. Later on, a sniper kills one of McKloskey's men, which serves only to confirm his suspicions. This is one of several Combat episodes in which two antagonists must set aside their differences and unite against a common enemy--before it's too late.
