NEWPORT, R.I.
(May 5, 2017)
U.S. Naval War College (NWC) Naval Staff College students participate in a capstone wargame. Students were divided into two groups and assigned to specific nations within a blue and gold coalition. The game allows the students to put the theories of operational planning they have learned at NWC into practical use, focusing on the application of military power where the blue team plays against the gold team. The teams conducted separate planning sessions and briefed their respective courses of action (COA) to NWC’s War Gaming department faculty members. The teams executed their COAs during the game play. This is the first year the game has migrated from a paper board game to a fully functional computer application with touch screen technology that allows multiple people to play simultaneously.
