HUNTING, FISHING & SPORT SHOOTING Hunting in Europe and Germany is steeped in customs and traditions and has often been exclusively for the upper class until the last 30 years or so. Gun ownership in Germany is a privilege not a right and they have strict guidelines that must be followed to own, store and fire a weapon. One way to possess a Firearm is to pass an authorized hunting course HFSS offers. The Hunting course lasts approximately 10 weeks and meets all the requirements of German law. The course includes blocks of instruction on safety, customs, traditions, shooting, proper weapons handling, laws, and all game animals found in Germany.

WARRIOR ADVENTURE QUEST

WARRIOR ADVENTURE QUEST The Warrior Adventure Quest (WAQ) is a DA approved and endorsed program under Executive Orders for all units. WAQ is designed to re-create the adrenaline rush of combat action in a supervised, controlled, high adventure activity which is supervised by Outdoor Recreation staff.

WAQ instills cohesion, builds teamwork and maintains combat readiness through high-adventure activities. This program enables Soldiers to reach a “new stage of normal” by diminishing boredom and high-risk behavior, through outdoor recreation and a Leader – Led After Action Debriefing L-LAAD. WAQ is offered at no cost to the units. All units are now eligible for participation. Non-deploying units can attend once every two years. Units within 120 days prior to a deployment or 120 days after a deployment may attend during that time frame. Funding will be provided upon successful completion of the activity and fulfillment of Post-Activity Survey.

All WAQ activities will take place on weekdays, during regular duty hours. This program is not to be confused as a free recreation day. Please do not schedule a WAQ activity day in conjunction with any other event i.e. unit organization day, FRG gathering, family days, Army birthdays, promotion ceremonies, bake sales or the like. Distractions like these will cause the activity day to be cancelled.

The WAQ program is a Leader and Soldier Program designed to support the Ready/Train and RESET phases of the ARFORGEN process. The objective of WAQ is to create a sustainable, enduring program that Army leaders recognize as a viable means to assist Soldier re-integration, maintain combat readiness and increase unit cohesion. Each activity will be followed by a (L-LAAD) and Post- Activity survey. This is designed to draw similarities between the high adventure activity and their Warrior experiences. The L-LAAD will be conducted by unit leadership (Squad Leader, NCOIC, OIC, Commander, etc.) The designated L-LAAD facilitators will need to meet with a WAQ representative the day prior to the event. WAQ representatives will teach the leaders how to properly conduct an L-LAAD.
