Abstract:

With the introduction of computers, war games became increasingly sophisticated yet most current war games are either too slow, not realistic, or use the computer as a referee only and not as a player. An approach is discussed in the context of TEMPO, a force planning war game currently used by the Air Force at its Squadron Officers School. This thesis involved the development of a version of TEMPO in which a computer expert system takes the place of one of the players, and an intelligent computer instruction system that takes the place of the section leader. The system is implemented on a microcomputer allowing its use in professional military education seminar courses.
