This Virtual Army Experience provides participants with a clear insight into today’s high-tech Army and immerses them in the operational roles of Soldiers. During the 25-minute experience, participants receive a comprehensive mission briefing to prepare them for entering the virtual mission simulator. Participants then enter the 9,750 square foot mission simulator and fall-in on HMMWV simulators, modeled on the actual vehicles employed by Army Special Forces. Other participants load a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, where they employ light arms and provide air coverage against enemy forces rendered by the America’s Army game. Upon mission completion, participants receive a debriefing on their team’s performance.
