According to the site, players will be able to play as members of the United States Army in a fictional region of west-Asia named Takistan[20], where the terrain is based on Afghanistan. Operation Arrowhead will include three new maps, a variety of new units, vehicles and equipment, as well as the eponymous campaign. Among the new units are a new array of US army personel and vehicles, Czech forces and German KSK units. UN peacekeepers are also present as an independent faction.

Moving a unit from one point to another may seem like a simple task but in a combat situation there is much to account for. Security, stealth, and dispersion must be taken into consideration to ensure that the unit arrives efficiently and without casualties and without detection.

Operation Pine Plains 4 held at Fort Drum, NY is launching this weekend. While registration closed weeks ago, the world is invited to view the results on the event's website. Be sure to stay tuned on their website for pictures and video of the event after this weekend. There is sure to be plenty!

Landing a helicopter in an area that wasn't specifically built for a helicopter can be a dangerous but required task. The US Army lands helicopters in fields, on buildings, on streets, and any other place imaginable in order to provide air transportation to troops on the ground by inserting or picking them up.

The use of hand signals predates written history. It is a form of communication that can work over long distances and is silent. Because hand signals use light instead of sound to communicate, they are helpful in situations where the two people that are attempting to communicate can not hear each other. Additionally, they are helpful in situations where communication is needed but maintaining sound discipline is important.
