Ender's Wargame: A Virtual Path to Victory

Abstract

Improved Marine training and enhanced decision-making at low cost validated the financial efficacy of wargaming. Since that time, wargaming has been primarily restricted to concept development. The fierce and ubiquitous competition for US budget dollars coupled with increases in deployments requires creative solutions for training Marines for the future fight wargaming may be the answer. The Marine Corps should expand wargaming from limited experimental (concept) to developing an institutional mind-set that employs wargames to improve problem-solving skills for all Marines.
