Army Career Week offers high schools throughout the area an opportunity to engage special operations Soldiers; then take a hands-on adventure using immersive technology showcasing Army jobs.
“We worked hard to bring a valuable experience to students in New Orleans to understand the lifestyle of Army careers, while communicating life-enhancing benefits it offers…in a fun way.” Memphis Recruiting Company Commander Capt.

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Robot display, a Night Vision Interactive Exhibit and XM-25 Weapons Simulator are a few demonstrations aboard the American Soldier Adventure, along with an Pistol Simulator and a Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) simulator.
