Badged into The RCR 10 years ago today.

How it started: How it's going (a few months ago):

@smarkg52 Send me your address. I’ll send you one!

Another great #WargameWednesday.

Nothing beats getting the team together to test mechanics, challenge assumptions, refine ideas, and make the game better. Iteration is where the magic happens.

I’m putting on a Tactical Decision Game contest starting 8 June.

One prize pack will go to the strongest submission. Another will be randomly drawn from all participants.

Head over to @RCRBuck on Instagram for the details, prize reveals, and the scenario.

Closed out the week with a round of Major’s Gambit.

Another awesome #WargameWednesday prepping for ALPS.

The closer the course gets, the more every game reinforces how complex LSCO really is. Synchronization, sustainment, tempo, uncertainty, friction. Looking fwd to helping build leaders who can think and operate at that level.

This week, officers of the 51 CSOC explored a wide range of wargaming formats, from tactical to logistical, company to corps level and from professional to playful. The goal ? Bring continued education theory to life through hands-on serious games.

@smarkg52 @USACGSC @ArmyUniversity @___PHALANX Great game!

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD See you in a few years. Sounds like a good next project.

[Alex Buck 🇨🇦 @RCRBuck]

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD I knew there must be a good reason! We should wear even more hats than we already do!

[Alex Buck 🇨🇦 @RCRBuck]

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD Why do we even wear these hats at all?

You can't be a teacher if you don't invest in your own learning. More additions to our library just arrived 👇
