The US army has built a fake city designed to be used during combat training exercises. The 300 acre 'town' includes a five story embassy, a bank, a school, an underground subway and train station, a mosque, a football stadium, and a helicopter landing zone.
Located in Virginia, the realistic subway station comes complete with subway carriages and the train station has real train carriages. The subway carriages even carry the same logo as the carriages in Washington DC. There are also bridges and several other structures which can be transformed into different scenarios. The $96 million is designed to meticulously "replicate complex operational environments and develop solutions"...

LOL, maybe we should suggest to name the fake town at A.P. Hill “Rockridge”.
CC
They been doing this for years.
I helped build the town at FT Lewis.
Before that happens will the patriots in the military please(!) get off your asses.
You're already more that a year late.
The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012
Back in 1992 a Lt. Col. (USAF I think) wrote about the future that many back then envisioned.. political corruption, neglect of national issues and existential threats, neglect of military preparedness as the military was used to handle domestic chores neglected by the corrupt ruling class.. until a crisis forced sending a hollowed out military to the Middle East after years of neglect by successive corrupt U.S. administrations. Disaster resulted and the military finally! acted in 2012.
If modern America's Man on Horseback is out there, Get on the damn horse already!
Turrentine Hill. Made many a night combat equipment jump into that DZ. Still had strands of concertina wire from the movie set sticking out of the sand in spots. It looks like it's a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC) now.
“Includes a mosque, eh? How intolerant. /sarc “
That’s so they can practice not hitting it and bowing to it as they pass.
I'm glad they're only training to kill civilians in Washington, DC...
If they'd just build a replica of the white house and congress, I'd give them a standing O to blow them to hell - and then go do it for real!
LOL!
Rock Ridge—the fake version!
They built that overnight, too!
First, I laughed.
Then, I cried.
In today’s Army, you’d be charged with assault!
“Turrentine Hill. Made many a night combat equipment jump into that DZ. Still had strands of concertina wire from the movie set sticking out of the sand in spots. It looks like it’s a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC) now.”
Oh, the misspent days of our youth at the Fort Benning School for wayward young men.
LOL. Yeah, back in the days of youthful immortality.
“I assaulted a fake Vietnamese village at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia in 1970.”
LOL!
Hope someone gave you a bottle of ba muoi ba (tiger piss) for your effort.
“Ditto that! My brief experience in the military is that soldiers follow orders, period.”
Our soldiers and Marines are not goosestepping 50 IQ Nazis who blindly follow orders. Quit slandering our troops, you maggot.
Sober up Sarge and apologize for calling me a maggot tomorrow.
Don’t forget about we vets.
They’re set up to shoot traditional white Americans... not too many of those in Detroit.
The press senses the truth - they slip into their 'we protect democrats' mode. That's why press coverage mentions the mosques but not the church. It's the same code the press uses with crime - if the race isn't mentioned by the MSM, the perp is black. The MSM covers for democrats, democrat criminals and dem victim groups...
We know the truth by what they don't say - by the voids in coverage - by what they don't say.
The 'church' isn't mentioned because the little goons think most of their victims will be traditional American Christians and Jews.
Christians/Tea Party/Constitutionalists ... the list is long.
