Opportunities for Including the Information Environment in U.S. Marine Corps Wargames

Abstract

This report documents the results from a RAND study that explored considerations related to the way in which the information environment could be better included in U.S. Marine Corps wargames. Findings should be of interest to three main groups of stakeholders: First, members of the community of practice for information-related capabilities and operations in the information environment, who should be interested in approaches to wargaming their capabilities and ensuring that their contributions are reflected in wargames; second, members of the defense wargaming community of interest, who should find the models and taxonomies useful for designing and structuring games and procuring gaming and simulation tools that include the information environment; and third, players and participants across the Marine Corps and U.S. Department of Defense who want wargames that consider all the major factors that contribute to operational outcomes, including information.
