America's Army is Shutting Down After 20 Years

America’s Army: Proving Grounds, the video game used as a recruitment tool for the United States military, will shut down on March 5 after more than 20 years on various platforms.

Released in a time when support for the United States military was at an all-time high in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, America’s Army quickly became a popular attraction, reaching nine million total players by 2007.

America’s Army released in three major iterations throughout the years, updating content and gameplay for an audience of 20 million players.
