	America's Army Hits Arcades Check out the newest version of America's Army this month in venues such as arcades, restaurants, movie theaters and malls. Designed for one or two players, the America's Army arcade game is based on real Army training and features a series of eight target-training games. Each game has a dynamic difficulty system that makes the game easy for new Recruits and more difficult for experienced players. Players can learn about Army culture through Army videos and historical information that is displayed throughout the game. Just as with the PC and console versions of America's Army, players are rewarded for teamwork, proper use of the Rules of Engagement, accuracy and target identification.

Featured MOS:
Satellite Communication Systems Operator/Maintainer (25S)

Secure and effective communication is critical for success in today's high-tech Army. Satellite Communication Systems Operators make sure the lines of communication are always open. During extensive classroom and simulated combat conditions training these Soldiers learn how to install, operate, maintain and repair tactical multi-channel satellite communications. They are responsible for encoding and decoding classified messages, operating different types of telephone switchboards and responding to emergency messages.

Gamer Tip:
Voice Activation Control

VAC enables players to use the America's Army voice recognition system to issue commands and initiate actions. Now players have the ability to speak the radio command they want rather than cycling through menus. You can also map any key to a voice command to customize your America's Army experience.
