Summary This research will examine USMC and USN cooperative missions with allied and partner nations in the South China Sea through wargaming and analysis studies. The wargames will be to familiarize wargaming participants and observers with U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy expeditionary capabilities, allied and partner expeditionary capabilities, concepts for joint and coalition employment, and to assess potential locations and logistics requirements for expeditionary operations. MARFORPAC-MCWL-NPS workshops, NPS student team designed wargames from the OA4604 Wargaming Applications course, and NPS student team mini-studies from the OA4602 Joint Campaign Analysis course will inform this program of research.

The first phase will be to conduct a Fall 2018 (FY19) Emerging Concepts and Technologies Workshop to refine the emerging concepts and technologies to be injected into the Winter NPS Joint Campaign Analysis class’ mini-study.

The second phase will take those critical enabling concepts and/or technologies and introduce them as technical injects into the Winter NPS Joint Campaign Analysis class’ mini-study of a Western Pacific scenario.

The third phase will be to introduce MARFORPAC Pacific Partner concepts and technologies into the Spring OA4604 Wargaming Applications course.

The fourth phase will have the Summer JCA course students conduct a second look at MARFORPAC Pacific Partner concepts and technologies and conduct a wargaming workshop to develop the foundations of the MARFORPAC Pacific Partner Wargame.

The fifth phase will be to conduct a MARFORPAC Pacific Partner Wargame in Camp Smith, HI and drafting the final report, creating and delivering results briefings, and identifying areas for future MARFORPAC-MCWL-NPS research.
