The Application of Tactical Decision Games in the Training of Battlefield Decision Making at Company Level

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to find out if tactical decision games (TDGs) are suitable to teach and practice battlefield decision making skills at the infantry company level. It is difficult to find field exercises and other training events for officer-cadets where they could actually lead a company sized unit in real life. At the same time they are expected to lead an infantry company in a conscript army during wartime after their graduation. The hypothesis was that solving TDGs improves the quality of decision making on the battlefield. The study was conducted in the Estonian National Defence College with 35 officer-cadets who were involved in the infantry company commanders´ course. There was one TDG per day during a three week period. 16 TDGs and an evaluation scale made by the author of the thesis were used. The evaluation process was conducted by three subject matter experts.
