WARGAME ̶ A SUPPORTING INSTRUMENT IN OPERATIONS PLANNING
WARGAME ̶ A SUPPORTING INSTRUMENT IN OPERATIONS PLANNING

Summary/Abstract: Operations planning is one of the most complex and fascinating processes that take place in the dynamics of preparing military actions. Since uncertainty is the most prominent feature of this entire set of activities, we consider that identifying ways to reduce this shortcoming by involving forecast and the methods of testing and validating the resulting estimates is of particular importance. The most prolific method of this type is wargame. Forecast intervenes also within it, contributing to seeing the outcome in the confrontation between two sides. The ways of achieving the forecast results are the operational analysis / research, computer-assisted simulation and the intuitive analysis of the confrontation between the opposing parties, based on the acquired experience and the lessons learned from previous actions. Wargame contributes to the decision on the best course of action and its optimization, in order to be developed in the final operations plan.
