Army Creates Office Dedicated to Video Games

Army Creates Office Dedicated to Video Games
The military loves its video games. Whether it is at the forefront of simulator technology, modding off-the-shelf games like 'Doom', or creating its own first-person shooter from the ground up like 'America's Army', the United States Army is no stranger to game development as a way to train and recruit soldiers.

No branch of the military has embraced the world of video games as much as the Army is about to. The Army has just created the Training and Doctrine Command's Project Office for Gaming (or TPO Gaming), an office dedicated completely to building and deploying video games.

TPO Gaming is specifically looking into developing a toolkit that will allow soldiers to build their own training scenarios. But sadly, like many other US Military projects that can take a while, don't expect to see this toolkit until around 2015.
