See the gear and equipment they used to survive and how it evolved throughout history.
 
Don't miss this unique opportunity to see demonstrations and full-blown battle skirmishes that define each era, including an assault on a Revolutionary War fortress, a Civil War skirmish and a WWII period battle featuring an ambush by German Fallshrimjaegers on an American 101st airborne unit from WWII.
