About HFTC

The Hatchet Force Team Challenge is an annually held, team-based, invite-only, tactical-simulation competition. It is designed to push teams to their mental and physical limits. It consists of objectives that require the use of a wide variety of skills and teamwork, all of which Hatchet Force regularly trains on. No task in the Hatchet Force challenge is one that we have not completed ourselves. Admission is required and goes to cover the cost of that year’s event.

Each year the winning team goes home with the Hatchet Force Team Challenge “ArrowHead” trophy. The winners keep the trophy until the following year, when a new set of teams competes. The winning team is allowed to attend the following year for free as OPFOR.
