Combat Ready  (2007)

Theatrical Release Information:
Combat Ready

The inner workings of the U.S. military's top-secret war games are revealed to the general public for the first time ever in this Military Channel documentary detailing just how U.S. troops prepare for warfare on the front lines of Iraq and beyond. By engaging in everything from ancient board games to high-tech computer simulations such as the ones implemented in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the American military has attempted to combine tried and true battle techniques with the most innovative strategies that war-planners can cook up. In addition to showcasing precisely how age-old wisdom and advanced technology can offer an entirely new approach to warfare, this release also documents how troops are prepared for combat in specially constructed Iraqi-style villages on American military bases. Fascinating real-life footage captured filmed both in the U.S. and abroad offers unparalleled insight into the battlefield experience in both "Wargames," and "Insurgency." ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
