It has become suggested reading for many military organizations, including the United States Marine Corp

I’m in a convention center in Orlando, Fla., at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference, the largest military simulation conference in the world...
@AnLeLu1 "I’ve just experienced the Army’s most lifelike training simulation yet: the Dismounted Soldier Training System which, after two years and US $57 million in development, will arrive at bases this year. [2013]"
@AnLeLu1 Yes, it’s the stuff of science fiction, most notably Ender’s Game, the best-selling 1985 novel by Orson Scott Card that has whiz-kid cadets fighting an alien space fleet through a video game..
@AnLeLu1 As Michael Macedonia, the former director of the Army’s simulation technology center, told The NYT in 2003, “Ender’s Game has had a lot of influence on our thinking. The intent is to build a simulation that allows people to play in that world for months or years,
@AnLeLu1 participate in different types of roles, and see consequences of their decisions.”

Ten years later, Macedonia’s vision is bearing fruit, driven in part by a strong appetite for the savings that simulations promise in a time of tight budgets.
