Spooky season? We've been in it since 1896.

Come see the end of the line for yourself. Tour the prison, or stay for a paranormal tour if you dare.

Fifteen years of peace ended on a bleak winter morning. Under heavy snowfall, Russian armor and elite special forces stormed Brushy Mountain Prison, overwhelming NATO's defenses and seizing the facility to free high-profile prisoners of war. Now a multinational NATO task force is assembled to take it back. Will you defend the prison or storm the gates?

Join us at Brushy on December 4th-6th for Operation Wargate 3, Tennessee's ultimate battlefield-style milsim ai***ft event. Fast-paced, ever-evolving gameplay built on game modes like Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough. No more battle at the gates!

Choose your side, NATO or Russia, for $100 per person. Enjoy free primitive camping onsite, vendors open all weekend, Parolee's Pizza, and a raffle packed with ai***ft guns, patches, and more from your favorite suppliers.
