Excerpt:
A recent UCLA Army officer training program ran a drill depicting the enemy wearing civilian clothes from Arab countries, which some UCLA students and professors said demonizes Arab and Islamic identities.
UCLA and Fresno State Army ROTC held their biannual field training at Camp Roberts in central California from April 6 to 8. Cadets practiced navigation and shooting skills and ran simulations in which fourth-year students acted as opposing forces. Some of the students acting as enemy soldiers wore kufiyyas, iqals and other clothing predominantly found in Arab countries.
Lt. Col. Shannon Stambersky, a professor of military science at UCLA and a member of ROTC leadership, said the drills are designed to be realistic and to simulate forces the U.S. military is currently fighting.
