Marine Corps Wargaming Capability
Abstract
The enhanced Wargaming Capability (WGC) facilitates Force Design by utilizing advanced modeling and simulation systems and analytic assessments of current Operation Plans, Concepts of Operations, future operational and functional concepts, and operational and technology-based approaches. These results will refine our Force Design through our campaign of learning and increase research capacity to maintain the USMC as a "force-in-readiness." The WGC program office is unique from other programs in that the program office is responsible for the system of systems within the facility as well as coordinating the unique manpower requirements. The USMC WGC consists of Wargaming software, model, and simulation tools and systems, a Wargaming and Analysis Center (MILCON Project P-719), and the necessary personnel supporting the new capability. WGC will provide an enhanced basis for analytically informed decision support to capability development prioritization and resourcing. The WGC program acquisition strategy takes advantage of 10 U.S.C 2302 Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) and was designated a MTA for Rapid Prototyping in May 2019. The overarching strategy consists of three phases: Phase I: Risk Reduction Prototyping (FY 2019 - FY 2020); Phase II: Integrated Prototyping (FY 2020 - FY 2022); Phase III: Follow-on Baselining/Production (FY 2023 - FY 2025+).
