The Ministry of Defense is conducting an experiment in which it is planned to train the military in non-standard thinking when planning anti-terrorist operations using a board game, reports RIA News post CBC News.

Canadian military will be taught to fight the IG with the help of a board game


The “ISIS Crisis” matrix game set, developed by order of the government, consists of maps of Iraq and Syria, dice, markers and cards with conditions and objectives. The game is intended for officers who do not have knowledge of military planning, it must develop innovative thinking that allows solving a specific task in the most unexpected way ”, - says the publication.

According to the TV company, at one of the presentations "participants were offered to try their hand, playing on the map of Iraq both for the IG and the other warring parties to the conflict, including the Kurds, as well as for a separate group of human rights organizations, the media and the International Criminal Court."



The developers believe that "such games can reverse the tendency to use the experience of the past war." In addition, they note the key advantage - “cheapness and speed of learning”.

According to the information, up to 6 people can take part in the game at the same time, “the entire gaming session lasts from 3's to 4 hours”.

“If the game shows a positive effect in the focus group, the decision to enter the ISIS crisis into the troops will be made in the fall,” the publication said.

    P.S. I understand that in the photo presented, Canadian Army officers in an informal setting: a girl in a striped swimsuit sucks a pen --- it means she’s planning something bad (she obviously plays for IS). And the girl with glasses looks like Sobchak.)))

      No need to joke about Canada. This is one of not many countries that confidently maintains its economy under capitalism.

      The fact that Americans are joking is their point of view. Canadians often apologize. Such a norm of behavior is not bad either.

    The game is intended for officers lacking knowledge in military planning,


    Just think about this quote, this is an officer who is unfamiliar with planning. Whom do their military schools prepare and graduate, complete or something. Then why are such schools needed? Complete nonsense. Or I didn’t understand something. But it’s not surprising if FIVE opposition people cook for 500000 greens. We would have that kind of money.

      Well, to everyone else.

      The topic is much more important than you defined it with your jokes.

      The world is changing much faster than a person manages to adapt to events. And with this, a human behavior management system is associated. The question is extremely broad and in my short post I can only touch on superficially.

      The behavioral pattern of a person being studied is described but is not published in the general press. This knowledge is kept behind the scenes, which would be used for personal enrichment. Well, it’s clear who feeds the girl and dances to her.

      But with all this, due to the high level of information content, information exchange. The points of recreation of knowledge occur uncontrollably. I would like to keep them, but not always possible.

      The task is how to change, anticipate and prevent the situation from the point of view of the human behavioral system, morality.

      There is a monopoly game. This game educates players on patterns of behavior under capitalism.

      There is a game "Civilization". This game teaches players behavior, the ability to govern the state.

      There is a game "Battlefield 3". Especially the latest version. Teaches players the actual behavior on the battlefield, taking into account modern military technology. Although, of course, modern youth lags behind Soviet children who play war on the street, and not on the computer, have a much better school of survival. On the last airsoft, my result was 1 to 10. This is an analysis of the situation.

      Var Thunder history and tactics of air and ground combat.

      "World of Tanks" is just a story.

      In other words. You can not be skeptical about the gaming industry that forms the human behavioral system.

        I am writing about specifically warriors on earth.
        I would just not take the gaming computer industry very seriously, since it does not have the main thing - the effect of physical presence and it is impossible to really include such a powerful tool as a symbiosis of thought and muscle memory, which sometimes means more in real war than simple training. That is the tactics of warfare. By the way, you yourself confirm with the results of airsoft.
        But a narrow specialization on computers, on the contrary, can reduce the cost of training, of course, training in shooting from various types of weapons and controlling various types of equipment, from a car to an airplane. But riding a bicycle and quickly leaving the cab you will never learn on the computer.

          We understood each other perfectly.

          Those. The ability to anticipate an event provides an incredibly great advantage. And the enemy’s behavioral model can also be learned on a computer.

          Well, physical training of fighters is an undeniable question.

        Since I have already begun, I will continue.

        For the monarchist.

        I will give historical events and, through a chain of logical reasoning, I will make a Communist out of the Monarchist. Without creating a single false sequence.

        Prada is human progress. Lying is regression. Logically sopru no.

        The Roman Empire. Slave system. Extensive road network. These conditions created the opportunity to prepare the army for battle in the ranks, for an organized battle. And confront the unorganized barbarians. Why? Because the slaves gave out the product, and the roads could transport this product to the large military garrison, legions. And those at one time used this opportunity to prepare for battle in the ranks.

        Farther.

        The free resource in the Roman Empire gave an impetus to the development of science. Manufactories appear. And banking. The beginnings of capitalism begin.

        The next stage of development is the way out of slavery and the transition to manufactory production. Why the way out of slavery. Because each person receiving freedom remains in debt. Thus form a package of futures. How was it before? Currency is gold. Then capital doubled created paper money. And then all this was increased by 5 times creating a system of debt futures.

        But for such an economic system to work, it is necessary for the state.

        How to implement the state?

        Religions and secular power. Remember before religion was pagan? And then suddenly it became monotheistic. Why?

        Because religion is power exercised through the control of MORAL. And secular power was given to the king through the consecration of this power by the church. The king is the viceroy of God.

        Now we have a state and an economic model of capitalism.

        Church-controlled morality implies a fair pattern of behavior. Capitalism seeks a counterbalance, justification of injustice and enrichment rights through the impoverishment of the majority.

        Something does not channel. Someone has to leave. Gone are the king. He did not see what was happening. He imagines himself to be a god. Well got what he deserved. For secular power must be realized. MORAL need to be controlled.

        Fortunately for everyone on the Planet. The power in Russia is taken by the Bolsheviks. This is a great philosopher primarily V.I. Lenin. Who knew exactly what to do. How to form MORAL, to obtain the desired result. An ideology was created which is the change of MORAL.

        Both monarchies and communists set the goal of reviving and maintaining the state. The communists destroyed the church as a possible obstacle to the goal.

        Those. monarchy is not possible without the presence of the church.

        Understood, Monarchist? What if you are an adherent of the state, then you are on the way with the Communists.

        I gave such an extensive example with the goal of showing a system of changing people's behavior and the importance of moral control.

        Now back to the Canadians.

        To think having an advantage, to predict the actions of people you need to know their behavior, MORAL. Canadians have one survival system, their own MORAL. ISIS has a different faith (MORAL), a different survival system. Therefore, the game was created when a system of behavior is developed in the game in OPPOSITION of the players that can give an advantage to some over others.

        A bit confusing. I write without the possibility of adjusting the text. I apologize.
        Thank you for attention.

    Threat. When I was little, we played tanks with a penknife. Take a knife, throw it. If the knife stuck into the ground, you draw your tank, if not, the passage to the enemy. If he got into your tank, he erases it with his foot. And what’s interesting, you can’t intercede for your tanks! In the battles were!
    Not guys, our thinking has been developed through centuries of wars with you, so ...

    American, and now it’s clear that the Canadian military has been playing computer games for quite some time. In particular, in the 90s the security system for the transportation of nuclear weapons by rail (and probably not only by rail) was developed in this way. 2 teams played: one guarded, the other took the transport by storm, lost various options. They invited our specialists to this game. Thus, weaknesses in defense systems were found and counter-measures were developed for the most likely enemy actions. Say fun? Not at all.
    By the way, legs from these games grow in methods for calculating the adequacy of physical protection systems for objects.
    This game may be some kind of adaptation - a paper simulator to familiarize yourself with the methods and techniques of an enemy unknown to Canadians. Maybe they are so accessible for understanding?
