Opportunities for Including the Information Environment in U.S. Marine Corps Wargames

This work delves into the pivotal role that the information environment plays in U.S. Marine Corps wargames, presenting a thoughtful analysis of its implications for military strategy and operational effectiveness. By integrating principles drawn from established military theories and current doctrines, the authors illuminate how the evolving landscape of information warfare can be effectively woven into wargaming scenarios.

Christopher Paul, Yuna Huh Wong, and Elizabeth M. Bartels explore the necessity of adapting wargaming practices to better reflect the complexities of modern conflict. Their insights challenge traditional methodologies, advocating for a more holistic approach that recognizes the intricacies of information dynamics in shaping operational outcomes.

Through a blend of theoretical grounding and practical recommendations, this examination serves as a resource for military planners and strategists. The authors aim to foster a deeper understanding of how to leverage the information environment, enabling the Marine Corps to enhance its preparedness for future challenges on the battlefield.
