Jogos de guerra: estratégias de expansão e aplicações em contextos militares e civis

Abstract

The work "War Games: Expansion Strategies and Applications in Military and Civilian Contexts" explores the evolution and applications of War Games, highlighting their importance in the strategic and tactical training of the armed forces and their growing use in civilian contexts. The Naval War College has been instrumental in this development, particularly through the War Games Center. The study proposes several strategies to expand the Center's activities, including offering specialized courses to other entities and conducting free games for public agencies. Technological modernization of the simulation support system and the continuous training of instructors are identified as crucial to maintaining the effectiveness of the simulations. It is also suggested to expand the dissemination of the methodology, both internally, through the Navy's communication channels, and externally, using social media and communication campaigns. The inclusion of War Games (WG) subjects in postgraduate programs and military training courses is also recommended to increase the knowledge base and promote research in the area. These initiatives aim not only to improve the strategic and operational readiness of the armed forces but also to explore the potential of war games in civilian contexts, such as crisis management and business strategic planning, contributing to organizational resilience and effectiveness in an increasingly complex world.
