FT. IRWIN, Calif. -- In the largest and most complex military exercise of its kind, thousands of U.S. troops, some armed with hand-held computer devices, are fighting mock battles across the country, attempting to mimic what a major military operation could look like in the near future.
Under the specter of a possible invasion of Iraq, about 13,500 soldiers and 70,000 more computer-generated enemy and U.S. troops are waging a simulated war, testing some of the most advanced technologies in development and providing a rare glimpse at the Pentagon's efforts to push the lumbering military into the digital age.
