Escape & Evasion Exercise
Every year we run Escape & Evasion Exercises at our various sites. Generally scheduled in April & September these hugely popular events are designed to push the boundaries of airsoft & give players a real flavour of army life for 24hrs.
So, what is it?
24hrs working in pairs but sometimes alone & being hunted by a determined enemy of experienced serving & ex-UK forces well equipped with vehicles, radios & the occasional search dog team complete with warm tents & sleeping bags.
While the Hunter Force enjoys some creature comforts you, as an evader, with barely any food, no sleeping bag & only a pistol with very limited ammunition have to navigate to grid references to recover cached equipment including food, weapons, ammunition & your next set of orders. Enemy patrols search for you endlessly scouring the area & looking under every bush for you, their quarry.
As the scattered survivors of a Special Forces patrol, forced to bail out of their doomed transport aircraft, shot down over enemy territory, you have 24hrs to escape & reach safety. In that time you must navigate your way in your two man teams around numerous waypoints retrieving kit & intelligence data.
Without the kit & information you cannot reach your final destination for extraction or attempt any possible missions that local friendly HUMINT contacts may ask you to undertake.
Should you be unlucky enough to be captured you will be taken to the enemy command location for rigorous interrogation. They will want the information you have.
Can you survive for 24hrs out there?
Do you have the will-power & resourcefulness to get through the ordeal if you end up alone?
