May 12, 2006 — When Staff Sgt. Brian Zedwick joined the Army, he couldn't have predicted where he would be deployed next: inside a video game.

In a small backroom at the electronic game world's much-hyped trade show under way in Los Angeles, the U.S. military has been showing off the latest version of America's Army, a video game based on soldiers' actual experiences.

The new edition offers the game's 7 million registered players a unique opportunity to take control of Zedwick and other actual U.S. Army soldiers whose likenesses appear in the game.
