Based at JWC in Stavanger, Norway and operating across NATO’s command headquarters, the one-year contract will see Babcock support the design, delivery and management of professional wargames for strategic and operational level participants.
Wargaming is a vital tool for providing a safe-to-fail environment for testing and enhancing defence preparedness. It also enhances headquarters’ command, control and decision-making processes.
Jo Rayson, Managing Director for Babcock’s Training Business, said: “Wargaming is critical for developing military strategies and maximising battle readiness – and as a leading provider of individual and collective military training, Babcock is ideally suited to support NATO as it evolves its wargaming offering.”
Babcock is one of the largest providers of training to the British Armed Forces and this further training contract with NATO follows the recent award of a five-year contract for the provision of subject matter experts to fulfil JWC exercise play functions.
