kjfitz 07/13/10 06:26 PM	Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Can anyone find this site? It is fake Iraqi city on Fort Hood that is actually staffed by real Iraqis to train US Army soldiers. http://kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=32193 http://www.boingboing.net/2010/07/08/fake-iraqi-village-s.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexmuse/185724973/ kjfitz Virtual Globetrotting Moderator

LancelotLink 08/27/10 08:10 PM	Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply I was stationed at Fort Hood years ago and this is the most probable location of "Phantom Run" the mock Iraqi city. This is the MOUT (Military Operations on Urban Terrain) site in the training area of Ft. Hood. http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=31....%20Hood%2C%20TX
