Human Fatigue Modeling in Wargaming Simulations

Abstract

Wargaming is a valuable tool for military planning and leadership strategic thinking and tactics training. However, wargaming simulation software has critical limitations that need addressed to increase the realism and efficacy of the scenarios. One limitation is that human factors are often absent in scenarios, with personnel treated as high functioning, uniform units. In reality, human factors have critical effects on personnel readiness and performance. Of particular interest in the current effort is the effects of human fatigue on simulated personnel entities and how this can inform wargaming participant decision making.
