War gaming

War gaming is a strategic tool used to simulate military conflicts or scenarios to analyze potential outcomes and decision-making processes. Participants, often military officers or strategists, engage in role-playing to explore various strategies, test tactics, and assess risks in a controlled environment. This process can help identify strengths and weaknesses in plans, understand the dynamics of warfare, and improve readiness for real-world situations. By modeling different variables and actions, war gaming enhances critical thinking and foresight in defense planning and operations.
