MOUT facilities aren't new. Here's Camp Pendleton's in CA where I trained in 2001.
As to the indoctrination... well... it pays to be vigilant.
Isn't there also one in KY?
While MOUT cities are nothing new -- the organization and buildings in this city are a little different than the others. This isn't some mud city, or anything from the east. This is modeled after something in the US - down to US style houses and restaurants. With signs in english, american cars on the street, etc.

What American city has a goddamn soccer stadium in it?

Last one I played at was at Ft Indian Town Gap PA.
More like a small town then a city,but sufficient enough for small unit training.
That's cool as hell!
What would be awesome is on downtimes, the army should rent it out for huge paintball or airsoft tourneys.
Isn't there still a housing development out near dia that the local pd's use for training?
HUGE +1!Quote:

This, and for one thing, most regular soldiers are not told the whole story as well. Yeah, it could be just a benign training place.Quote:

That actually looks like a pretty badass training facility. Like it was said before...your tinfoil is too tight.

Where is the fun of MOUT without having a love-seat dropped on your head from the 2nd floor? [LOL]
Tinfoil. I've trained at the Zussman MOUT facility at Ft Knox, the MUTC in Indiana, the old housing area in Victorville CA, and the Boaz and Hargrove MOUT facilities at Ft Hood. This new MOUT site doesn't sound any different.
Commerce City is a city in America but not really sure it's an American city.Quote:

Here is the larger of the MOUT sites at Fort Carson. Trained there quite a bit.

Has several multi story buildings, houses, etc. Not sure it is too suspicious though.
Looks like east of Springs... EVERYBODY [panic]
No worries blacklabel I know what you mean.
