Additionally, the monograph looks at three secondary questions. How can the Army use computer wargames to increase experience and decision making? Why should the Army use computer wargames? Finally, what are the benefits of computer wargames for the Army? This monograph shows the computer wargame used consistently by army leaders can increase experience and decision making skills. Like any training, computer wargames must be used repetitively to achieve results. Commercial computer wargames are available now. The software industry produces a wide variety of wargames enabling leaders to focus on the level of war that suits rank and position. The costs of computer wargames are negligible. The army could purchase site license from the software industry for wide distribution or units could locally purchase the games. The bottom line is, using commercial computer wargames to devel
