Now at 29 Palms; the actors (upwards of 900 at a time, some are Afgan Americans, use to have Iraqi Americans) we have the training IED's, all the simulated wounds that you saw (yes we have actors that have ambutated limbs to portray injured Marines) the simulated RPG's, etc. It is extrememly real. We have a couple of MOUT towns in full use ( about 300 buildings) and then the large scale MOUT under construction. It'll be over 1200 buildings when done - it's a small town - bigger than 29 Palms, complete with a multi-story urban core, hospital district, stadium district, diplomatic district, etc, etc - all the elements of a real mid sized town, capable of handling regiment training. It's 75% complete and parts of it are already in use. Almost all of these training assets are procured through Marine Corps System Command's Program Manager for Training System (PM-TRASYS)
