Text Box: On July 4, 2002, after two years of secret development, the Army, along with Ubisoft Entertainment Inc, have released "America's Army", a tactical, multi-player, 1st person oriented, training simulation featuring real-life combat scenarios. The military variants of America's Army focus on specialized tasks that rely on the game's rich graphics and user-friendly interface. One variant trains operators of the Talon, a mine-disarming robot, while another tests the tactical effects of an experimental grenade launcher. The Army also is exploring using the game to train soldiers in force protection, first aid and survival skills, maintenance, intelligence gathering, critical thinking and leadership named at the cost of only $2.5 million. The civilian variant is vetted for operational security, but maintains many of the same functions as the military variant. It is available for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2.
America's Army is consistently ranked among the top five online games. America's Army is the Army's most cost-effective recruiting tools since it is available for free and more than 7 million people have registered to play. American Army is tailored to demonstrate what Army service is like. Players earn rank, complete training missions and learn more about the service than they ever would by speaking with a recruiter.
