Built originally as a representation of a German village in the Cold War years, the village has been modified to mimic the environment of an Iraqi settlement. Times change; the notion of FIBUA (fighting in a built up area) doesn't.

Anywhere that has restricted access is bound to cause some curiosity I suppose. The village is part of a military training area and although you can get close you can't get in!
