In the same spirit as the U.S. Army's successful soldier simulation America's Army, the Army National Guard presents Guard Force, a real-time strategy game designed to demonstrate authentic aspects of tactical modern warfare. The game features six different missions involving real-world war machines and units such as M1A1 tanks, M9 Ace minelayers, and Bradley tanks.
