Warrior Adventure Quest
Warrior Adventure Quest (WAQ) is an Army RESET training tool designed to introduce Soldiers to activities that serve as alternatives to aberrant behaviors often associated with accidents involving recently re-deployed Soldiers. This tool presents coping outlets to help Soldiers realize their own new level of normal after deployment and "move on" with their lives.
WAQ combines existing MWR Outdoor Recreation high adventure activities (e.g. rock climbing, mountain biking, paintball, scuba, ropes courses, skiing, zip lines, white water rafting, and others) with a leader-led after action debriefing (L-LAAD) tool developed by Army Medical Department (AMEDD) center and school. Program consists of Leader training for SSG and above in participating platoon, soldier training for all participants, pre and post activity surveys, full day adventure program, and leader led after-action debrief. Program designed to provide healthy outlets for adrenaline seeking, build unit cohesion, reinforce resiliency techniques, introduce soldiers to new activities.
