His weapon is fitted with a laser that interacts with receivers worn by all of the soldiers and actors in the training exercise, regardless of duty, rank, or location in the training theater. At left: After the second of three mock battles of the day, Iraqis and Americans playing soldiers, victims, and insurgents relax together in the shade until the next 20 minutes of choreographed crisis.
