First responders prepare the wounded for transport in waiting ambulances outside Fort Hood's Soldier Readiness Processing CenterBy Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army is using a new crime reporting application for smart phones called "iWatch Army" at 17 U.S. bases to boost its anti-terrorism and anti-crime efforts, with another 100 military bases likely to follow suit this year, the app's developer said.
