In 1985, the 3702nd BMT Squadron conducted the first bivouac since the 1960s during a three-day holiday weekend with volunteer MTIs and trainees. The bivouac was inspired by Project Warrior with the purpose of exposing trainees to field and combat conditions. The success of the first bivouac led to a second one during a three-day weekend in November. A final one took place in October 1986, before BMT adopted it as an annual volunteer program in 1987. The bivouac and other field activities, such as the gas mask chamber exercise, would later become a field exercise called ‘Warrior Week.’
