Either a mock town has been set up here, or the Marines are playing with Legos:



I assume this is for urban warfare training. Anybody know for sure?

I also heard that there's not one but two mock Starbucks there.

What a fascinating post!

I wonder whether this is supposed to represent some real city? And if so, I wonder whether we can figure out which one!

doesn't represent a 'real world' city. close to 'legos' though - big conex boxes for urban warfare training (google "mout").

there's no starbucks, but it IS a training facility. it's called 'viper mission'. i am a roleplayer. we stay for about a week, living as close to authentic iraqi, as possible.
