Project Echelon Airsoft: We wear the 8th to honor those who served, and those who are serving

Project Echelon.....Project Echelon is a airsoft team out of Tooele,Utah. The team was formed in September of 2009. Consisting of veteran airsoft operators, the new team is even more dedicated to the sport of airsoft. We play hard core airsoft. Our airsoft guns are higher powered than other teams in the state. And this brings more realism to the sport of airsoft...longer engagement distance, and more fun.
