Medium events are events that run several days 6 – 8 hours daily (e.g., Scenario Development Conferences, Concept Development Conferences, Seminars, Deep Dives, Tabletop Exercises, etc.) and require effort to prepare and organize. Large events are events that run several days and take 10+ hours daily (e.g., STARCOM Wargaming Capstones, Global Engagement Capstone, Thor’s Hammer Capstone) and require significant effort to prepare and organize. Events that SW personnel may take part in that run several days and take 10+ hours daily but do not require significant effort to prepare, such as a limited participant/support role for other wargames (e.g., UK’s Eagle Warrior) will be considered medium events. Table above reflects historical data from the past and estimated data going forward.
