US troops learn about Iran Army while card playing

September 06, 2019

US Army soldiers are being given a deck of playing cards depicting Iranian weaponry to give them a better sense of Iran’s weapons stockpile.

The Federation of American Scientists reports that the Army has introduced the deck of cards, the Iran edition of the service’s Worldwide Equipment Identification Cards, with the likely purpose of educating soldiers so they can identify the weapons better in combat.

The cards include information about the main weapon included in a weapons system, the range of that main weapon, and the weapon system’s nomenclature.
