FUTURE WARFARE 20XX Wargame Series Lessons Learned Report, December 2001

Date
December 2001
Summary
The 20XX wargame series is premised upon a future security environment in which the key technological and strategic trends associated with an ongoing Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) have been fully played out. The 20XX wargame scenario posits multidimensional, asymmetric, advanced RMA conflicts between the United States and its allies and a large peer competitor (LPC) and its allies. The LPC (modeled on a rising China) is an autocracy with a robust economy, sophisticated technology base, and expansionist foreign policy. The conflict scenarios are set in the unspecified year of “20XX” to avoid needless debate over the precise time frame during which the postulated forces and capabilities might become available. However, the date can be assumed to be approximately 2025-2030. The principal objective of the 20XX series has been to: analyze a future RMA regime and associated force capabilities; evaluate candidate RMA operational and organizational concepts; and surface operational and organizational issues meriting further investigation.
