JUST IN: Marine Corps Using Modeling, Simulation to Define Future Force Structure
10/3/2019

Analytics from ongoing modeling and simulations will help shape the Marine Corps' future force structure, the service’s commandant said Oct. 3.
Wargaming and experimentation will also inform what tomorrow's force looks like, Gen. David Berger said during a speech at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, D.C.
“We have right now I think [an] 80 to 85 percent picture of what the Marine Corps will need a decade out. But this last step [of using data gathered from modeling and simulation events] is so important because now is when we run that force against a peer threat 10 years out, over and over and over again to develop the analytical base,†Berger said.
