Summary:

The feasibility of board war gaming as a forecasting technique was investigated to determine behavioral benchmarks against which unit performance in engagement simulation (ES) exercises could be compared. Using the Fort Carson Forecasting Game, board exercises identical to REALTRAIN engagement simulation field exercises were conducted. Results indicated a few small differences between the two types of data; in general, however, the data from field and board exercises were comparable. This initial research effort to develop a feasible behavioral forecasting procedure for unit performance in engagement simulation exercises indicates that board war gaming has potential to meet these needs.
