|version=2.8.5<br/>(April 30, 2009)

'''''America's Army''''' (also known as '''''AA''''' or '''''Army Game Project''''') is a [[tactical]] [[multiplayer]] [[FPS]] owned by the United States Government and released as a global public relations initiative to help with U.S. Army recruitment.

The PC version 1.0, subtitled ''Recon'', was first released on [[July 4]] [[2002]]. Since then, there have been over 20 updated versions released, the most recent being AA:SF (Overmatch) v2.8.3.1 It is financed by the U.S. Government and distributed for free. It was originally developed by the MOVES Institute at the Naval Postgraduate School and continues to use the [[Unreal Engine]].  

''[[America's Army: Rise of a Soldier]]'' is the subtitle for the [[Xbox]] version that was developed by the [[U.S. Army]], [[Ubisoft]] and [[Secret Level]]. A mobile phone version, published by [[Gameloft]], is also available. An [[arcade]] version using [[light gun]]s is also being developed.

America's Army lacks a main single player mode, but includes some training scenarios to help the player get used to the various features available in the game and so- called "coop" (co- operative) games where players fight a group of NPC's. These are rather poorly programmed, and rely on numbers to try to make coop- games a challenge.
