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, ropes courses, skiing, zip lines, kayaking, and others) with a leader-led after action debriefing (L-LAAD) tool developed by Army Medical Department (AMEDD) center and school.

SPORTS AND FITNESS
Mission Essential Fitness
Simply put, Mission Essential Fitness is the training required to condition Soldiers to perform their mission, in Garrison as well as any operational environment.
A U.S. Army Soldier is required to have a high level of fitness, capable of performing a multitude of physical tasks, involving power, strength, speed, and agility. Mission Essential Fitness incorporates all of these fitness components to train Soldiers as tactical athletes both aerobically and anaerobically.
Mission Essential fitness builds physical readiness and resiliency by providing Soldiers with functional training for the tactical athlete.
Training goals vary throughout the year and, with that, so do the training routines offered. Routines are scalable to fit any fitness level.
