Security War Game Simulation
Course Number: 84-600
The micro mini will feature a great power competition scenario in which participants are assigned roles as state and non-state actors navigating a cascading technology and trade security crisis. Teams operate inside a deliberately contested information environment—one polluted with misinformation and adversarial deception—and must analyze intelligence, develop policy options, negotiate across competing interests, and coordinate responses as the scenario evolves in direct response to their moves. The 18-hour campaign is structured across three days, using the Operational Gaming Engine (OGE) to drive consequence modeling in real time. OGE's multi-agent architecture draws on frontier models selected to reflect the reasoning patterns and strategic orientations of the actors being simulated—ensuring adversarial fidelity that generic AI facilitation cannot replicate. The course will be taught over one weekend: Friday, November 6, from 1-5PM, Saturday, November 7, from 9AM-5PM, and Sunday, November 8, from 9AM-5PM.
