Military training systems · governed AI workflows
Decision training.
Built for teams under pressure.
NextGen Wargame turns operational source material into repeatable exercises, controller-ready products, and visible decision evidence—without requiring heavy simulation infrastructure.
Measured in live use—not presentation polish.

Systems
From source truth to execution.
One training system, supported by governed production workflows. Each layer exists to make decisions observable and controller delivery repeatable.
CADE — Combined Arms Decision Exercise
CADE shows how a team thinks under pressure. I developed the first executable version in one week; it has now run three times with about 19 participants per session.
02Orders Production
A three-stage AI pipeline that produces exercise-ready OPORDs for brigade and below — governed by doctrine, adversarially reviewed, and gated before unit release. The goal is not a perfect order. It is a 90% first draft that saves units significant prep time.
03Controller Package Generator
Built the workflow that turns the source plan into the documents controllers use to run CADE, while keeping every turn tied to the same facts and trainer review.
Operating method
AI accelerates production. Humans retain design authority.
- 01Govern source truth
Approved operational material constrains every downstream artifact.
- 02Build bounded workflows
AI drafts inside explicit structure, acceptance criteria, and review gates.
- 03Design for controllers
Products must work during execution without designer dependency.
- 04Change from evidence
Live observations—not model confidence—drive system revision.

What changed in the room.
Why My Background Made CADE Possible
CADE was built with AI assistance, but it came from years of wargaming, simulations, military education, and partner-force training.
