The main idea behind military training is to stress a person so much that they learn to automatically perform functions without thinking.
Imagine being tired, hungry, uncomfortable and on edge, then add the sounds and images of battle.
You still have to respond, so the military trains you to do it automatically, second nature to survive.
Hell Week is that times a hundred. You still have to function no matter what.
