"No Option Excluded": Using Wargaming to Envision a Chinese Assault on Taiwan
Abstract
The Mad Scientist Laboratory is excited to feature today's post by returning guest blogger Mr. Ian Sullivan, who converges the power of wargaming with narrative to compellingly imagine the unthinkable - China defeating the US in large scale combat operations! Over the past 30 years, U.S. battlefield dominance has been sustained by three heretofore unchallenged pillars: 1) We have the best equipped Army in the world; 2) We have the best trained Soldiers and the most dynamic leaders; and 3) Our ability to conduct maneuver warfare is unmatched. But will our battlefield acumen even matter when engaging an adversary who enjoys the advantage of time and space, possesses significant A2/AD and cyber capabilities that can disrupt our homeland and the timely flow of Soldiers and materiel to the fight, and whom has stolen a leaf (page) from our playbook and comprehensively modernized their military forces across the DOTMLPF-P capabilities spectrum?
