Simulation Becomes Gateway To Promotion

⊲ Fox News ⊳ The Pentagon is introducing Joint Warfighting Evaluations for officers seeking promotion to general, adding simulated combat assessments to existing career evaluations. Each military service has developed its own approach, ranging from online exercises to extended in-person wargames, with some using AI-powered adversaries. Around 2,800 colonels and captains are expected to participate during 2027. Promotion boards will receive the results alongside traditional performance records, with the Pentagon planning to refine the assessments after the first cycle.
⊲ With weighting still undecided, the first 2027 cycle will reveal whether simulation merely informs promotion boards or quietly comes to dominate them. ⊳
