America's Army used to train U.S. soldiers for combat
The video game America's Army was first released a few years ago as a recruiting tool, but now it is also used as a training device. Sounds like a great idea and all, but I'm not too sure about having a game that real. I mean wouldn't America's foes download the free game and train how to counter the U.S. military?
the Army has developed the Convoy Skills Engagement Trainer. The trainer strives to make the experience of convoy duty as realistic as possible. A real rifle sits mounted on a real gun turret, in front of three, wrap-around white screens. The software, based on the America's Army game, projects a training programme on the screens. In this case, it is convoy duty in Baqubah, Iraq. As one person involved with America's Army put it; "It is better that a soldier gets killed 1,000 times on a training device, than once in real life."
