military simulations
Tactical training scenarios
Military simulations are exercises or technologies that replicate combat conditions for training, planning, or analysis.
They range from tabletop war games and live field exercises to sophisticated computer models that predict outcomes of tactical decisions.
Defense planners use military simulations to test strategies without actual casualties: The Pentagon ran military simulations of a possible invasion.
Video games have borrowed the term for combat-themed entertainment.
