In plain language
- This proposal asks the federal government to use esports, video games, and livestreaming to recruit new personnel for Defense, including by creating an army gaming team and hosting tournaments.
- It primarily targets young people, gamers, and Defense, which is searching for technical and digital talent such as drone operators and IT specialists.
- If you are a young person or gamer, you could learn about military careers directly on gaming platforms, with clear rules on age limits and transparency being respected.
