BMT recruits shape up with laser wargame

Recruits in Basic Military Training (BMT) are now learning how to shoot and scoot with laser guns in urban battlefield settings featuring obstacles such as mini-tunnels and mock buildings.

They will fire these 'guns' while wearing sensor vests which facilitate effective training post-mortems during which recorded footage of each soldier's performance will be reviewed and evaluated.

The recruits of today, mostly digital natives, will thus find themselves on familiar ground: Training will run quite close to Laser Quest, the laser wargame found in game arcades.

The military version, dubbed the Tactical Engagement System (TES), was introduced to BMT recruits last November.

I remember looking at the manufactured date to be 1976 on the set I wore in the 90s. Not sure whole cost but the laser attach to the rifle was $2000 a piece according to the OC because he threaten us to sign 1206 when a boxful went missing after army open house.
