The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 081 - Gamification of Tactics

Recent conflicts underscore the practical relevance of
simulation-based and gamified approaches to military training.
From the use of commercial platforms for pilot familiarisation to
incentive-based systems for drone operators in Ukraine, gamified
logic is increasingly shaping how military personnel train,
adapt, and perform under operational conditions. Based on an
exploratory field trial and drawing on the long-standing
educational mandate attributed to Maria Theresa, this study
frames gamification not as a technological novelty but as a
contemporary medium for experiential learning. For the trial,
officer cadets participated in competitive tactical scenarios
using a commercial PC-based simulation (WARNO). Repeated
questionnaires, an intermediate diagnostic intervention, and
qualitative experiential reports were used to examine learning
effects, including decision-making under time pressure,
understanding of combined arms operations, and the role of
structured reflection.
