Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This integrative literature review, set within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) context, examines the use of serious gaming simulations in military leadership development. This review addresses a leadership development gap in the military and assesses where serious gaming simulations (SGS) were deemed helpful in the armed forces’ human skills training. These human skills are particularly relevant in military contexts described as “operations other than war” (OOTW). An example of OOTW would be the Canadian Armed Forces’ support for long-term homes during the 2021-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to evaluate the efficacy of SGS in developing soldiers’ mindsets and capacity for skills development with a focus on human skills. Human skills refer to interpersonal and cognitive competencies, such as communication, decision-making under pressure, and collaboration (Touloumakos, 2020). The literature review focuses on identifying key themes related to the role of SGS in developing or enhancing leadership competencies relevant to the military. Specifically, it evaluates the impact of these SGS on collaboration, decision-making under time pressure, culture change, and communication skills within military teams.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
