Once you have done that click on the FVWC info point for a description of how to run the exercise. Then once you are all set press the large red button to start an exercise.

The exercise we have created for FVWC uses a combination of Second Life 3D immersion and PIVOTE exercise management. The scenario is a road-side bomb in Afghanistan that has left a HMMWV wrecked, its cargo strewn across the road, and a soldier injured. Your task is to first use a remote-controlled robot to disable a secondary IED, and then to go in an check the soldier and apply immediate treatment – in this case morphine and a leg splint and then call in the Casevac. How quickly can you do it?
