Overview:
Your chance to get to the very edge of the ‘Battlefield experience’ and become a soldier in the ‘Virtual Combat’ arena.
Using a purpose-built MOD Infra-red training system, recruits will use the SA80 style rifle which fires an invisible beam up to 40 metres. On hitting the enemy a sensor in their helmet sounds an alarm and deactivates any ammunition remaining in their weapon. Don’t worry though that you may spend the entire session as a spectator as all casualty’s have to report to the ‘Aid post’ for re-activation and reloading of the weapon in order to be able to get back into the action.
Before going into action recruits will learn Infantry skills of Fire & Movement and Camouflage & Concealment from authentic military instructors. Various true-life scenarios will be undertaken during the day including attacking and defending an underground complex and a two storey farmhouse complex, clearing buildings room by room.
Included:
Virtual Soldier Headhunter training system.
DPM coveralls, and lightweight 58 patten webbing rig
Abseil Tower:
An essential skill developed by Special forces but now which forms part of every Soldiers training. Joined by other recruits you will learn from Brigade (CT’s) qualified instructor’s all the necessary skills that will soon have you descending the 60 foot tower with confidence.
Grenade Range:
Here on the Grenade Range Recruits will receive the exact training as given at the School of Infantry Warminster by a qualified Instructor. Using a purpose- built Replica Training Grenade, recruits must hit a series of targets at various distances. A successful throw will detonate a battlefield Pyrotechnic.
