Background:

The George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies (GCMC) is an international educational institution funded by the United States Department of Defense and the German Ministry of Defense. Its mission is to create a more stable security environment by advancing democratic defense institutions and relationships; promoting active, peaceful security cooperation; and enhancing enduring partnerships among the nations of North America, Europe and Eurasia and beyond. GCMC routinely hosts participants from around the world. Generally, they are members of the military, government or subject matter experts. They have the ability to affect change and are critical to the overall success of GCMC’s mission.

The GCMC College of International and Security Studies (CISS) specifically supports the GCMC mission by offering resident courses and non-resident activities designed to enhance and improve communication, collaboration planning, critical thinking, strategic leadership and international cooperation. The CISS resident course program’s and non-resident activity’s curriculum incorporates exercises, games, and simulations as a component of the interactive, participatory educational instruction program. The exercises, games, and simulations are used to engage program participants in selected topics relevant to current priority national and international security related issues; decision making processes at the international, strategic, interagency, and high operational levels; and the use of military forces and other types of governmental assistance in joint and combined operations to achieve defined security objectives across the full spectrum of operations.

The CISS utilizes a range of educational exercises, games and simulations with the objective(s) of addressing political, military, economic, social, cultural and environmental scenarios, which could lead to conflict between nations, states, alliances, or their citizens. Exercises, games and simulations may also address senior level decision-making, with issues related to budgeting, resourcing, domestic, and international economics, environmental issues, interagency decision-making process, national security strategy, national military strategy, stability operations, homeland security, and similar topics.

Exercises, games and simulations are a key part of the continuing adult learning experience. Successful design and execution of exercises, games and simulations tailored to the needs of each program, as well as the integration of lessons learned from student reviews of these exercises, games and simulations are critical to the success of the GCMC mission. Historically, when exercises, games and simulations failed to engage program participants, the GCMC goal to impart knowledge setting the conditions to achieve peace, stability and economic growth is diminished.
