Eagle against the Dragon: Wargaming at the US Army War College
War Room
(2024)
Abstract
The Army War College has recently responded to the Joint Staff’s guidance to refocus professional military education on the People’s Republic of China, the pacing challenge for the U.S. military, by creating a new “China Integrated Course” that serves as a capstone for the core curriculum. The new course includes lectures and seminar discussion on China’s history, foreign policy, and military capability and doctrine. However, nearly two-thirds of the contact hours—32 of 50 classroom hours—will be spent in two experiential learning exercises, or wargames, that have students apply diplomacy, information, military, and economic (DIME) power to achieve American—or, for half of the students, Chinese—national objectives.
