History Series / TheBrave

* CliffhangerCopout: The first episode ends with the DIA team seemingly caught in the blast of a [[ActionBomb vehicle-borne IED]] on a Turkish beach. The next episode begins with a scene in Ukraine setting up the plot, then we cut back to the Incirlik base in Turkey where the protagonists are perfectly fine. The truck bomb from the last episode gets maybe one minute's worth of discussion where they mention about 20 civilians and 4 servicemen died in the blast and they'll probably never know who did it.

* WarfareRegression: In episode 8 "Render Safe," it turns out the Russian stealth drone actually crashed within China's borders, not Mongolia as the DIA originally estimated. This makes the mission to recover its technology much more complicated as the Chinese military is one of the world's most sophisticated armed forces when it comes to electronic warfare. The SOG team has to completely strip themselves of any communications devices and [[RadioSilence cut themselves off from Washington,]] or, as Campbell puts it, "go old school."

* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Dalton is occasionally addressed as "Top". This term is reserved for First Sergeants (the senior enlisted soldier in a company) and not used for officers like Dalton.

* SadisticChoice: The DIA is tasked with the choice of going after Burhan Baghdadi so that ANF can be crippled badly and risk getting Dr. Wells killed or rescue Dr. Wells and risk Baghdadi escaping. [[spoiler:Dalton goes to save Wells, but leaves some Semtex in an empty rifle magazine in Amara Baghdadi's vest to have a makeshift explosive and destroy the van they were using to escape after she was knocked out cold with a distraction.]]

--> Rioting prisoners on the inside would have no access to a control room on the outside.Unless it was orchestrated.

* SpoilerOpening: The intertitle will show the location where the SOG team is going to be deployed in every episode.
* TrappedBehindEnemyLines: Dalton's SOG team was briefly forced to navigate through a anti-Ukrainian rebel-controlled city after one of its choppers got shot down in "Moscow Rules" before they began to hide from building to building. It didn't help that pro-Russian fighters trained by GRU agents were hounding them constantly.

* BatmanGambit: Dalton's SOG team rarely ever resort to using direct attacks to achieve their objectives, preferring to use intimidation, manipulation, and the occasional targeted hit to beat their opponents.

The show centers on the work done by the Defense Intelligence Agency, an external intelligence agency that's in charge of providing defence and military intelligence to the American government. Patricia Campbell is the current Deputy Director of the DIA who's in charge of running the daily operations of the agency. The show kicks off when Kimberly Wells, an American doctor who's with Doctors Without Borders, get kidnapped by armed al-Nusra Front fighters after returning home from a day in a Syrian refugee camp. Captain Adam Dalton, in charge of a DIA black ops team in Turkey, is tasked to retrieve her before she's killed.

* InsideJob: The SOG team realizes that the prison break in "Break Out" couldn't have been job with inside help from sympathizers in the ranks of the Afghan National Police, which is a TruthInTelevision issue after the Taliban were ousted from power until recently.
