摘要

A group of civilians preparing to deploy to Afghanistan to carry out President Obama's vision to involve the entire federal government in the war gathered in a circle for an after actionrnreview at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center.rnOnly minutes earlier, they had been walking down a street in a mock marketplace taking a tour with the provincial governor, when an improvised explosive device was set off near an Indiana National Guard humvee. The soldiers escorting the civilians quickly loaded them into their vehicles and sped off as they exchanged fire with "insurgents" shooting from balconies.
