Mission 

Provide the Department of Defense, allies and defense partners access to the unique wargaming capabilities of the Naval Postgraduate School students and faculty.

The Vision 

Provide DoD, allies and partners: 
• Access to wargaming education through the NPS Wargaming Mobile Education Team (MET). 
• The opportunity to sponsor an NPS student wargaming team to design, develop, conduct and analyze a wargame for their organization in the 11-week resident course. 
• Support, advice, and assistance from NPS wargaming experts as organizations stand up inherent wargaming capabilities and capacities. 

NPS Mobile Education Teams 

The NPS Wargaming Mobile Education Team (MET) stood up in 2011 to provide organizations the opportunity to educate a wargaming cadre to design, develop, conduct and analyze wargames through the Basic Analytic Wargaming Course (BAWC).  The BAWC is a 5-day course (40 contact hours) built around hands-on practical exercises coordinated with the sponsoring organization. 
The BAWC provides two benefits to the sponsoring organization: 
• Training a cadre of the organization’s personnel as analytic wargamers who can design, develop, conduct and analyze wargames for their command. 
• Leading students through a wargaming workshop as they are learning basic wargaming fundamentals. The workshop is focused on a wargame that the sponsoring organization needs to conduct, and by the end of the 40 hours the students conduct that wargame as a graduation exercise.
