The MoD has turned to computer games to give army drivers sent to the Middle East some experience of the situations they might encounter in the field.

The software, based on a game called Armed Assault published by Bohemia Interactive, is being used to teach soldiers in the Royal Logistics Corps techniques and procedures for road convoy operations and help them learn how to react to events in the field including coming under fire, roadside bombs and ambushes.
