You'd hardly expect to find dozens of defense strategists setting aside two
weeks at a time to play a video game. But then, Urban Resolve is no ordinary
video game.
Developed by the U.S. Joint Forces Command, or JFCom, a division of the
Department of Defense, the $195,000 program is a combat simulation on a
massive scale. It pits two opposing teams of soldiers against one another in
a fight for control over a city under siege, and it's capable of modeling
the behavior of the nearly 1 million entities -- the soldiers, civilians,
cars, tanks and so on -- that might exist in such a conflict.
