Abstract :
Training exercises with a large degree of realism have always been the goal of the armed forces. To a large extent, the US military has succeeded in creating the training simulations needed to turn out the world´s most successful fighting forces, but at a staggering cost. The paper discusses the use of simulation and virtual reality in military training.
