I work in the modeling and simulation domain. One team in our local organization is working on Individual Combatants (the more general term for what we used to call Dismounted Infantry). They participated in some exercises to test and demonstrate new IC technologies. One of the coolest things I saw was an omni-directional treadmill. It was really cool. It even had some mechanical devices attached to the user's torso that could simulate the forces involved in going up or down a hill. You can find more about it here.
