In the early days of the Iraq war, soldiers carried playing cards showing the "most wanted" members of Saddam Hussein's regime. Now the Army is issuing decks to help them memorize Russian and Chinese tanks and rocket launchers.
As the Army prepares for war with a major power, Training and Doctrine Command has designed the "Worldwide Equipment Identification" cards. And so far, the service has released about 100,000 decks across the Army, according to a recent Army news release.
Each deck includes the nomenclature and performance stats of primary weapons systems soldiers may face in combat.
