BMQ is a rigorous program that teaches new military members the core skills and knowledge required to succeed in a military environment. It focuses on physical fitness, drill, weapons handling, and survival skills, requiring high disciple and teamwork to succeed.
Residents may notice military vehicles, equipment and personnel with weapons (using blanks / simulated ammunition). The exercise will involve blank firing and may result in some noise in the area.
