Dunno when these went up, but the Army's recruitment site GoArmy.com now has a set of Army-branded casual games available for potential enlistees looking to kill some time.
There's a very simple football game, a rifle marksmanship game, a "Patriot Missile launch simulator" and a more elaborate "Blackhawk Challenge."
As relatively basic flash games, there's not much here akin to the much-touted realism of America's Army. These titles present a much more distant relationship to real-world affairs. The football game is an extension of the branding benefits provided by Army athletics, and the Patriot missle game is rather abstract. The marksmanship game, for example, involves synching up two moving lines into a crosshair. Though I found this rather fun, I certainly hope there aren't any actual firing systems that work this way.
