About this event
The presentation will examine the relationship of wargaming to the Navy's professional military education process. It will take a brief look at the history of gaming at the Naval War College, and particularly the separation of research and teaching after World War II. It will then go into the underlying relationship of gaming to professional learning and end with some observations on how educational wargaming can be improved.
