A Virtual Military Organization (VMO) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses simulation to model the operations of a military.〔 〕〔 〕 Virtual Military Organizations (VMOs) generally have a presence on the internet, similar to real military organizations. Most VMOs simulate military operations to varying degrees. A newer variant of Virtual Military is the MilSim unit. MilSim units differ from Virtual Military by placing emphasis on the simulation of military tactics in their chosen gaming platform, whereas traditionally, VMOs have placed emphasis on simulating the bigger picture, including a full military career path, logistics systems, coordinated movement of equipment around the world, and prolonged military operations. Although VMOs may appear to be a type of gaming clan, a key difference is that gaming clan's primary purpose is to be an "organized group of players that regularly play together." VMOs are essentially role-playing environments within which an individual can immerse themselves. ''Realism'' groups are semantically similar; however, their primary focus is usually on following real-life procedures as much as possible. Therefore, Tactical Realism and MilSim are almost synonymous in the gaming world. A google〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=virtual military - Google Search )〕 search for 'Virtual Military' reveals quite a few VMOs that go to varying degrees of depth to pursue their goal. Each VMO has their own mission. Some VMOs will simulate an individual military unit, others an entire branch of the military, and yet others attempt to simulate Joint Operations with multiple branches. Most VMOs offer a rank system that provides a career path within the organization. Most VMOs will also offer a variety of training, in order to allow new members to familiarize themselves with the organization's doctrine. ==Realism vs Immersion== Each VMO chooses to either follow an immersive style, or a realism, or a combination of both. While most VMOs will incorporate a rank, some incorporate features such as Military Logistics systems,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Logistics - Unity Security Force - Virtual Military - Arma 3 )〕 economics models,〔 and custom debriefing reports. While each has its benefits and followers, a mix between the two seems to be the most popular option.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Behaviour, realism and immersion in games )〕 Some VMOs can be creative by making their own custom paint schemes, medals and award ribbons,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards - GPEO )〕 rank insignia, weapons, vehicles, aircraft, and bases (Air bases mostly developed for Flight Simulator X). Some groups tend to form a historical, political, and battle image or reputation over time. They support various causes and styles of law and order, or internal hierarchy structures. Some groups might form specific government types, ranging from Communism to Fascism, Democracy to Monarchy, and so on. At times, there are even Anarchist rebel groups, or militias that form temporarily. Groups might grow to form into completely custom government entities or structures, and on into resembling small nations, with their own flags and codes of honor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virtual military」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
