Prairie storm / MEDicine man (United Kingdom exercises)

In 2009, Gary started working in the largest armoured training facility in the world for the British Forces, BATUS. During various Battlegroup exercises, these soldiers used Tactical Effects Simulation (TES) equipment combined with Live Immersive Training to complete their pre-deployment training objectives.

Gary worked directly with the Exercise planners before and during the TES phase of the training cycle. Duties included building a 24/48 hour schedule, ensuring that timings and special effects needed for the desired training effect were in place, and allocating the correct manpower to the training scenarios.
