Game On for Soldiers

⊲ The Telegraph ⊳ UK soldiers will train on first‑person shooter games including Call of Duty in a new initiative by the Ministry of Defence. The Telegraph and Daily Mail reports that General Sir Tom Copinger-Symes, the deputy commander of Cyber and Specialist Operations Command, says that the war in Ukraine, where remote-operated drones have become crucial on the battlefield, proved the worth of having soldiers skilled in video gaming. The launch of the International Defence Esports Games, involving over 40 nations, is part of a broader push to link gaming skills with modern military tasks.
