The Potomac Foundation and the Casimir Pulaski Foundation will host their first joint Baltic Security Scenario Simulation in Warsaw, Poland on January 23-26, 2017.
The purpose of this wargaming initiative is to assist the Polish national security decision-makers in the development of a regional and NATO accepted understanding of the nature of the Russian military threat to the Baltic States and Poland. The wargame seeks to explore the dynamics between national defense and coalition warfare considerations; defense of the capital and defense of borders; defeating forces and defeating adversary’s plans.
Wargame participants will include defense experts and government representatives from Poland, the United States, Baltic and Nordic countries.
The simulation will be conducted using the Potomac Foundation’s proprietary HEGEMON platform and methodology. HEGEMON features Google Earth interface, and includes a complete regional order of battle, as well as a detailed attrition calculation application for direct fire, indirect fire, air attack, and air defense. The forces are controlled by players who issue movement and combat orders for each turn to the units under their command. All unit orders provided for each move to the umpire, who adjudicates movement and combat outcomes. All orders are submitted and executed simultaneously.
