The Warrior Adventure Quest (WAQ) is an approved fully funded resiliency training program for any USAG Stuttgart Army unit. 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 units. All units are now eligible for participation. Non-deploying units can attend once a year. 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 birthday, promotion ceremonies, bake sales, etc. Distractions like these will cause the activity day to be canceled.

Outdoor Recreation offers the following programs for WAQ:

• Paintball (Indoor & Outdoor)
• Indoor Rock Climbing with belay class
• Discover Scuba (Intro course)
• Axe Throwing
• Go-karting
• Archery
