“Right now at the operational energy wargame we have two cells, a red and a blue, and for the last hour they have been learning the game, understanding their moves and implications, while developing strategies of how they want to go about it. Navy Energy Coordination Office, and USMC Expeditionary Energy Office joined the wargaming team, their recommendations and expertise were instrumental throughout the exercise. Matthew Schaefer, along with several colleagues and international students from Germany, developed the ‘Operational Energy Wargame (OE).’ In addition, representatives from the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence in Lithuania, U.S. Under the sponsorship of EAG, OR student Lt. We will be producing a comprehensive report to bring back to Australia to feed into our actual planning on their acquisition processes as well as the employment of aviation into the future.” “What we have today are participants from Australia and from Stanford University, both military and civilian students, to come down and play through the game today. “The angle of today’s wargame is to look at the future operating concepts of the Australian army and aviation, looking at both manned and unmanned platforms and how they could operate in our contemporary operating environment,” said Hepworth. Adam Hepworth worked closely with his sponsor, the Australian Army Headquarters for Future Land Warfare Branch, to develop the ‘Defining Australia’s Future Battlefield Aviation Requirements.’ We will do another course for CENTCOM and a course for NAVAIR-China Lake this summer.”

We have taught it for USSTRATCOM, USCENTCOM, the US Marine Corps, Royal Canadian Air Force, Australian Defense Forces, and the Indonesian Navy. “In addition, we take a week-long version of this course and teach it around the world. When I took over the course in 2009, I transitioned it from a focus on computer-based wargames to re-focus the course on having student teams design, develop, conduct, and analyze a wargame for a real world DoD or Defense partner sponsor,” said Appleget. “The NPS OR curriculum has taught wargaming for over 30 years. Since 2009, the students have conducted 46 wargames for 27 different sponsors to include all United States services, Canada, Norway, and for the first time Australia. Jeff Appleget has coordinated with outside sponsors to identify real-world scenarios that NPS has the resources and manpower to tackle. Concurrently, the OR department is conducting four other wargaming exercises ‘Defining Australia’s Future Battlefield Aviation Requirements’ ‘Distributed Lethality in the South China Sea’ ‘USMC Extreme Cold Weather System Wargame’ and ‘Operation Pressure Cooker 2020: Deterring Tension in the South China Sea.’

Under the sponsorship of the NPS’s Energy Academic Group (EAG), students of the Operation Research (OR) Curriculum execute the ‘Operational Energy Wargame,’ which studies the challenges of insurgents creating a breakaway nation in a fictitious country, while focusing on energy shortages and incorporating energy resources during this crisis situation.
