News › H.E.A.T. Helps US Army Train For Battle

That's right, members of your own H.E.A.T. have been practicing with the Arlington Heights Airsoft Team (A.H.A.T.), which is made up entirely of soldiers of the US Army Reserve.

During the course of e-mails and conversations, it was learned that the troops of A.H.A.T. had turned to airsoft for training purposes. While this is not what airsoft was intended for, it has been a valuable tool in teaching soldiers how to operate in a tactical environment.

Starting on Wednesday, Feb. 15th, H.E.A.T. members Kevin Z and Jon F, soon joined by Chris F, have been attending practices held by A.H.A.T., providing our unique brand of assistance.

At the end of practice valuable experience has been learned by everyone, from the importance of thoroughly clearing a room before moving on, to maintaining situational awareness in close quarters. All in all, it has been good training for soldiers and civilian alike.

H.E.A.T. has been invited to attend additional practices with the men and women of A.H.A.T., and it is hoped that the future will see friendly relations between the two teams.
