War Games + Knowledgeable Dicisionmakers = Better Decisions.

Abstract

The basic question is what top management should know about computer-assisted war gaming. A literature search, discussions with war gamers and decisionmakers, as well as participation in war gaming have provided ample data. The relative position of war gaming in the spectrum of solution techniques available to the decisionmaker, discloses the usefulness of this approach to providing insights into today's military problems. An understanding of war gaming procedure, terminology, models, and how they are used provide the basis for guidelines to assist the user of war games in recognizing the overall values and limitations of war gaming.
