U.S. Military Playing Games

The U.S. Military are playing video games to improve on real field work. The video game is called Urban Resolve, developed by the U.S. Joint Forces Command, a division of the Department of Defense. The game citing takes places in urban areas of battle like ones in Iraq, and helping the U.S. Military learning other ways to take down a city by isolating different nodes in the cities that they encounter.
One of the things that i found most interesting is that the soldiers could be replaced with almost any characters in any scene, This help determine ways to deal to with the civilians and crowd control. The tests focus mainly on helping military leaders determine which types of senors are best for tracking enemy forces that are hiding in a modern city.

A good link. War is a complex undertaking. Sophisticated simulations help reduce that complexity to managable levels. Urban resolve is a "distributed simulation" that will help prepare our military for urban warfare. Better simulations, better execution.
