A Firsthand Experience
What's it like to be a soldier in modern, "trench-less" warfare? At the First Division Museum, visitors can experience the drama up close as they step into the boots of an infantry soldier via a gripping virtual reality program that plunges them, along with actual First Division soldiers, into a night raid of a civilian compound in Iraq. The fear and uncertainty inherent in military missions turns palpable as visitors leap from a Blackhawk helicopter and detonate the door of a suspected bomb-maker.
VR exhibits these days are usually worth the time it takes to strap on the glasses, but this one, utilizing footage made by the museum at the training center at the First Division’s Fort Riley, KS., headquarters, is especially on point. It lets you feel the uncertainty and peril behind every closed door.
