A. Overview
The Wargaming Department of the U.S. Naval War College hosted the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Operational Game on 18-23 July, 2010. The game was sponsored by OPNAV N2/N6 on behalf of the Chief of Naval Operations, ADM Gary Roughead. The game was held in McCarty Little Hall at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
The MDA Operational Game featured 94 participants including 38 players representing 12 countries, all of which were selected based on their widely dispersed locations as well as their previous MDA and MDA-related information sharing experience. The following nations participated: Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, India, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, South Africa, Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
B. Background
As declared in the U.S. Maritime Strategy, A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower and affirmed at the 19th International Seapower Symposium (ISS XIX) in October 2009, cooperative relationships between nations contribute to a secure and stable maritime domain. A focus of ISS XIX was the improvement of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and the broadening of information sharing between nations and navies in support of it.
In an effort to share ideas and initiatives that have been developed independently across the globe, the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Roughead, stated during ISS XIX that an international game would be held at the Naval War College to explore the operational implications of MDA.
C. Purpose for this Study/Objectives
The purpose of the game was to enhance information sharing with international partners for Maritime Domain Awareness in order to support ISS XX. In support of this purpose, there were three objectives: Examine regional MDA related relationships and networks in order to identify key elements of success, commonalities, and best practices. Expose impediments to effective information sharing. Identify options for broad based international maritime information sharing.
