Attention all America's Army players,
Today, we are pleased to publish the first quarterly America's Army newsletter. Since the program's launch in July 2002, you have helped make America's Army one of the most popular computer games in the world. The AA community includes 8 million registered users, from 60 countries, who have logged over 3 billion player rounds. And to think, we're just getting started.
The success of the online game has led to the development of America's Army console and cell phone games, as well as military and government training applications. As we march into the future, look to America's Army Operations Update for sneak previews of the latest developments surrounding the game and the program. The staff and developers of America's Army thank you, our devoted players, community members and partners for your continued support. The best is yet to come.
Empower Yourself. Defend Freedom. The America's Army Team

Q: What are the Explore the Army (ETA) servers and how do they work?
A: ETA servers are demo servers where new players can preview America's Army without registering an account or completing standard training. They feature some of our most popular missions but do not allow you to accrue Honor points. To get the total action-packed America's Army experience, you can register an account and download a full version of the game. To begin exploring, visit http://www.americasarmy.com/intel/explore.php.
