Summary	Recruiting individuals to serve in the military continues to be a challenging and resource intensive effort. As budgets are reduced, Naval Recruiting Districts (NRD) need to produce quality recruits at prescribed levels in order for the Navy to maintain the force. The Make Goal game is intended to assist NRD leaders in learning to efficiently allocate resources to accomplish this task. This research will: 1) assess the current Make Goal game as an instructional system in order to develop a set of recommended improvements, 2) analyze data available from the sponsor to develop an empirical model to use within the game to determine player outcomes, 3) implement a browser-based version of the improved game, and 4) conduct pilot testing of the improved game using students at the Naval Postgraduate School.
