I don't like the idea of the military bringing out tanks like they do in other more scrupulous countries.
I was in the Marines, and we had a huge training area. And the truth is, after a year of training, you pretty much know every last square inch - which completely defeats the purpose of the training.

On top of this, they don't have massive urban training centers. We had "combat town", which was nothing more than a small collection of buildings, but nothing is going to make it more realistic and force them to face real world challenges than doing it in a real urban center.
