"This week in Waiouru the team have been doing role-playing exercises using stand-in actors as local tribesmen, playing out meetings with the PRT engineers in a tribal village scenario.
Vinegar Hill campsite in Rangitikei deputised for the scene of a village meeting."
Just to let you know the army does this sorta thing for all the main deployments. The said stand-in actors are most likely to be army dudes dressed up.
the army does alot of said role playing, but the roles are based around reality odly enough.
It’s not like this is a new thing either. The medieval tournament was essentially the same thing, namely a game to prepare people for the real thing.
Cave men probably did the same thing when they were teaching children how to hunt.
The only real difference in any type of roleplaying is motivation… is this work or this play? For most of us its play…
that and people tend to get alot more hurt in army role playing, no foam on their riot battons, or on the rocks that we throw at the riot squad 
(partaking in a “controlled” riot is alot of fun)
