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 every two years. Units within 120 days prior to a deployment or 120 days after a deployment may attend during that time frame. Funding is provided upon successful completion of the activity and fulfillment of Post-Activity Survey.

All WAQ activities 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 birthdays, promotion ceremonies, bake sales, etc. Distractions like these cause the activity day to be cancelled.

The WAQ program is a Leader and Soldier Program designed to support the Ready/Train and RESET phases of the ARFORGEN process. The objective of WAQ is to create a sustainable, enduring program that Army leaders recognize as a viable means to assist Soldier re-integration, maintain combat readiness and increase unit cohesion. Each activity is followed by a (L-LAAD) and Post- Activity survey. This is designed to draw similarities between the high adventure activity and their Warrior experiences. The L-LAAD is conducted by unit leadership (Squad Leader, NCOIC, OIC, Commander, etc.) The designated L-LAAD facilitators need to meet with a WAQ representative the day prior to the event. WAQ representatives will teach the leaders how to properly conduct an L-LAAD.
