Humvee Egress Assistance Trainer, or HEAT

“The HEAT is designed to show Marines what it’s like to be in a vehicle roll over either from an accident or an IED [improvised explosive device] attack,” said Sgt. Steven Castro, a motor transport operator with II MEF Headquarters Group, who has the additional responsibilities of licensing new drivers and operating the egress trainer. “Going through the HEAT is a PTP [pre-deployment training program] requirement for all Marines going to Iraq or Afghanistan.

“Regardless of rank, you’re going to get spun.”

Gotta love real world training simulators! Glad to see them doing something along these lines. Wonder if there will be one assigned to each Marine Base and if the Army is going to pick up on this?

I would say gunny that sooner or later the Army will snag it up. Later most likely.
