Positive feedback from trainees
NCOs from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team met with UTM Trainers for a day at the range to learn about the UTM system and its features. Safety was seen as the primary benefit due to UTMs inability to fire live rounds accidentally. Another benefit mentioned was the increased realism given to training scenarios since there is physical feedback when you are hit.

UTM Training receives a "Two Thumbs Up".....
After conducting our UTM Train the Trainer Course (T3) at US Army's Camp Grayling, Michigan, we were happy to hear positive feedback from one of the course participants:
"I want to thank Phil and Mark for coming to Camp Grayling here in Michigan and demonstrating the UTM. It has been five days sence we have went throught the training and all my soldiers are still buzzing over the training the UTM provided them. The biggest thing I think the UTM provides is the instant feed back of the battle field. There is no hiding behind a small bush and not getting hit as with M.I.L.E.S gear. The UTM privides the battlefield soldier the "pain" factor when hit,not just a "beeping" noise.Thank you for coming out and educating my soldiers on UTM."
