Wargaming and Its Uses.

Abstract

This paper defines wargaming and briefly discusses its major characteristics and uses in exploring defense issues. It describes the different levels of wargame play and how wargames may be most appropriately employed. It concludes by comparing war gaming to systems and campaign analysis, showing how, despite some similarities of form, campaign analysis and wargaming are distinctly different approaches to addressing defense problems.
