The use of wargames to teach both tactics and strategic thinking lies at the heart of professional wargaming. Success depends on senior leadership support in the form of institutional funding and enduring partnerships with wargaming organizations. Thus, to systemically reap the dividends of educational wargaming, the Joint Force should aim to reestablish the tradition of educational wargaming within tactical units. The rare employment of educational wargaming within tactical units is episodic and limited in scope. At the tactical edge, wargaming is generally limited to the military planning process and course of action analysis ( PDF). The majority of educational wargaming is confined to the classroom, far removed from frontline units. In contrast, educational wargaming remains generally underdeveloped and underutilized in the operational force. Army War College and the Marine Corps War College are admirably expanding game-based learning in their curricula. Educational wargaming is increasingly prevalent in the pedagogical toolkit but remains concentrated at the higher levels of Professional Military Education (PME).
