Computer Simulations and Modern Warfare
Foreign Policy magazine has a great article about the use of computer simulations and how they are used by the American military. “America’s Army” does get a mention, but there are several other programs either underway or planned that leverage games to train soldiers. It also mentions some of the pitfalls of virtual training. Interesting stuff.
