Copehill Down in the English county of Wiltshire may look like a normal English village but it's different.

Copehill Down is a mock-up or, more accurately, a FIBUA – an acronym standing for Fighting in Built Up Areas. It is used by the UK Ministry of Defence to train the armed forces in the art of close quarters combat in an urban area.
