the series is based on Jon Ronson (http://www.jonronson.com/index.html)
next-to-be-published book "The Men Who Stare At Goats". From the
synopsis:
"In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within
the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed,
the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the
cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most
chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with
defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth
Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back
and fighting the War on Terror"
