I suggest you start by watching the series 'Band of Brothers' and its follow up 'The Pacific'. True stories from WWII of ordinary men training for combat and enduring extreme situations. Key takeaways are: physical training, become as fit as you can possibly be; skills training appropriate to the situation; and most importantly: you don't go through this alone, you need a team that has your back, united in a common goal and driving each other to give their best. In the luxury of peacetime our culture has been free to dismiss all forms of masculinity as toxic. These real life heroes tell a different story.
