Iraq in California
US soldiers from eleven different units go through urban operations training in a simulated war environment as one of their final steps before deployment in Fort Hunter Liggett, CA. Iraqi-Americans are hired to roleplay as Iraqi villagers in the practice war scenario, and the troops engage in six different realistic scenes for 21 days, facing simulated IED's, mortars, and other attacks.
