The Pennsylvania Army National Guard has a new virtual reality training tool to help prepare soldiers for war. Use of the Dismounted Soldier Simulator began Wednesday at Fort Indiantown Gap.
Pennsylvania has sent thousands of National Guard Troops to fight the wars in the Middle East. These citizen soldiers are yanked from civilian life to the battlefield. Training them to do the job is vital.
It's the Soldier's version of X-box, others might call it Star wars Technology. One thing for certain there's nothing else like this.
Captain Gordon Kinneer is simulations officer in charge. He says the dismounted soldier simulator offers more realistic simulation than its predecessor.
Staff Sgt. Tom Hammond has experienced the real life war, but says still he takes this training seriously.
