*Source: DTN News (NSI News Source Info) NORFOLK, England - June 12, 2009: A British First Infantry soldier takes part in a training exercise at a new "Afghan village" at a military base in Norfolk, in eastern England, on June 10, 2009, to prepare them for their Afghanistan deployment.
The village is designed to recreate the experiences that the soldiers may face including village meetings, surprise attacks and searching property for weapons and explosives. The village was previously designed to recreate locations in Northern Ireland and Bosnia for previous conflicts but is currently solely designed to replicate a typical Afghan environment.
