The wargaming, which enhances human judgment, has long been a vital method for understanding human decision-making in complex, uncertain environments by harnessing the power of experiential learning.

While traditional wargames offer deep insights into how decisions play out under pressure, their dependence on expert facilitators and labor-intensive design limits their scalability and speed.

APL revealed that Generative Wargaming (GenWar) is a next-generation capability that integrates generative artificial intelligence, modeling and simulation (M&S), and human expertise. GenWar allows the institute to build and run wargames in days instead of months, analyze dozens of alternative futures at scale, and focus human attention on the scenarios that most demand thoughtful deliberation.
