Peace, Stabilization & Counter-insurgency Wargaming

Peace, stabilization, and counter-insurgency operations are notoriously difficult to wargame due to their inherent political and social complexity. This webinar will identify some key considerations when designing or using such games in a professional military context.

What in it for me?

1. Develop your understanding of peace, stabilization, and counter-insurgency operations.

2. Better understand the strengths and weaknesses of commercial wargames in addressing such operations.

3. Learn how to design and facilitate wargames on this topic.
