Summary/Abstract: The article presents the essential coordinates concerning the achievement of feasible versions (from a constructive and functional point of view) of a laboratory for urban operations, with high potential for implementation in military higher education institutions. Are envisaged data to identify the optimal correlation (in terms of technical, systemic and operational views) between game and simulation, applicable in the military field and a comparative study of the variants of dedicated software and simulators (based on the use of available weapons) existing on the specialized market for military and/or civilian use. The domain of modeling military actions used in the instruction, which combines judiciously the advantages of game and simulation, addressed both theoretically and practically, starting from the common points (resources, rules, actors) is a modern, into the complete agreement with the requirements of demands based society knowledge, less exploited at national level but having a great potential to transform and implicitly to adapt land forces to the demands and challenges of the new security environment. The main novelty lies in the implementation of some technologies and methodologies specific to the simulation in educational military processes. Article aims partial representation (based on documented analysis which produces the essential elements) of the specific realities of urban battle in which fundamental features are selected (replicas of weapons and building infrastructure elements) of a situation that will be played by the group of military students involved in a training situation. This operational model ensures reduction and representation of a more complex system that allows experimentation in a direct manner, minimizing physical risks possible (wearing appropriate protective equipment) but maximizing awareness of the associated risks with these types of battle procedures.
