The Vice Chair of a NATO STO Research Task Group briefed the Military Committee Joint Standardization Board (MCJSB) this month on wargaming support for concept development and experimentation (CD&E). The briefing was held during a meeting at Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) on 12 July. 






The research team on “Modelling and Simulation-Wargaming Integration for Intermediate Force Capabilities (IFC)” was formed under the STO System Analysis and Studies Panel and the NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG). 






This month’s briefing described six wargames carried out by a different SAS team and the SACT Operational Experimentation Branch (now known as the Experimentation and Wargaming Branch). These wargames were carried out in response to the 2021 CD&E Programme, which underlined the need to “support the development of a NATO Intermediate Force Capabilities Concept, agreed across communities of interest, which stimulates further development, acquisition, and effective employment of IFC to meet NATO and member Nations’ requirements”. 






 

Intermediate force capabilities (IFCs) offer a proportional response through nonlethal and nondestructive means.






The briefing also raised the possibility of wargame support for doctrine development and assessment, with the Allied Joint Doctrine for the Deployment and Redeployment of Forces (AJP-3.13) standing out as the strongest candidate. This topic is of increased importance, given its connection to force generation and sustainment, and mobility/counter-mobility challenges, as well as its implications for critical infrastructure. The team (SAS-MSG-180) expects to begin working with the AJP-3.13 Custodian and other experts to frame issues that could be incorporated in upcoming wargames.
