The U.S. Army has launched America’s Army 3, an action game that claims to deliver the only authentic and entertaining Army experience by reflecting the training, technology, actions, and career advancement of a Soldier within a free gaming experience. Players can download the teen-rated game from partners listed at the America’s Army website. As with previous versions, AA3 will be continually updated to include new features and missions and to highlight new technologies being incorporated into today’s Army.

The game is launching with five different environments, each with three different mission scenario options for a total of 15 different map/mission combinations. Initially, the core of the gameplay focuses on an Infantry Soldier. Players first complete Basic Combat Training and then progress to Advanced Individual Training for a variety of specialized roles that the Infantry Soldier performs, such as Advanced Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Squad Designated Marksman, and Grenadier. This advanced training allows players to unlock new abilities and gear, customize their gear and equipment loads, increase their in-game skill level, and progress in their Army careers.
