Immersion Training at Camp Atterbury
Jun 10 at 10:10am by David Tate
US troops heading overseas receive what is called, Immersion Training. Basically it’s where the troops are sent to a base that is set up with fake towns, roads and people that are made to resemble that unit’s impending area of operations.
The military even hires people of various ethnic groups that properly portray the civillian population. I was used once as a “CNN journalist”. The two main bases that a majority of troops pass through are Camp Shelby, Ms. and Camp Atterbury, In.
Here’s a quick story I made regarding this training as members of 3/116th, 29th Infantry Division, get ready for a yearlong KFOR tour in Kosovo.
This story originally aired, and belongs to, WSLS-Roanoke (NBC) in Oct. 2006.
