12/17/2015 - Schriever AFB, Colorado – The Schriever Wargame 2015 concluded here today.  Set in the year 2025, Schriever Wargame 2015 explored critical space issues in depth.

The objectives of the Wargame centered on: 1) identifying ways to increase the resilience of space that include our Intelligence Community, civil, commercial, and Allied partners; 2) exploring how to provide optimized effects to the warfighter in support of coalition operations; and 3) examining how to apply future capabilities to protect the space enterprise in a multi-domain conflict.

The SW 15 scenario depicted a peer space and cyberspace competitor seeking to achieve strategic goals by exploiting those domains.  It included a global scenario with the focus of effort towards the European Command (EUCOM) Area of Responsibility.  The scenario also included full spectrum threats across diverse operating environments that challenged civilian and military leaders, planners and space system operators, as well as the capabilities they employ. 

Approximately 200 military and civilian experts from more than 27 agencies around the country as well as from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom participated in the Wargame.

Agencies that participated included:  Air Force Space Command, Army Space and Missile Defense Command, Naval Fleet Cyber Command, the National Reconnaissance Office,  Executive Agent for Space Staff, Air Combat Command, Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. European Command, U.S. Strategic Command, Defense Information Systems Agency, the Intelligence Community, National Aeronautics and Space Administration,  Office of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation, Department of State and Department of Commerce.
