Yes, but will it model sheep?. . .

Link to a Seattle Times article about a Fort Lewis Stryker unit being deployed to Ewe-topia so that (among other things), Stryker soldiers can improve their animal husbandry. The recently completely urban warfare training center, Leschi Town (MOUT?)at Fort Lewis includes a five story office building and farm, but not the 70 sheep that Eww-topia offers, thus filling an apparently vital yet hard to predict need in the medium-weight brigade concept. Please note that a photo-opportunity will be provided after the training exercise -- if this is open to the public, I am sorely tempted to check it out.

This wouldn't happen to be anywhere near that Enumclaw place, would it? "Search and Sensitive Site Exploitation" sounds a little scary, if you know what I mean! :eek:

Just hope those soldier boys know enough not to, uh, 'interact' with any horses!

What do they tell helicopter to do pilots in Iraq? If you need to set down in an emergency aim for a field where sheep are grazing. Substantially reduces the likelyhood of landing in a minefield. Maybe BFC will code flocks of sheep the same time they do civilians. Same behaviors, different polygons

In the early days of the Normandy invasion, US soldiers would often check fields to see if there were cows in them. If there were cows, then no mines. My great-uncle was a paratrooper in the 82nd, and one of the very, very few war stories we got out of him revolved around cows.

Few people know this, but that's where the phrase, "Got Milk?" originated.
