## Resource

The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) is accelerating efforts to define the future force through virtual wargaming, edge computing and autonomous systems. Brig. Gen. Simon Doran, MCWL's commanding general, joined AI GovCast to discuss how the lab is identifying emerging threats and developing the concepts and capabilities Marines will need over the next decade. Doran said the lab analyzes recent conflicts, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, to extract operational lessons and apply them to advanced modeling and simulation. Doran also highlighted the development of the Neller Center for Wargaming and Analysis, a 100,000-square-foot facility in Quantico. The center will use physics-based models to test Marine Corps weapons and force design concepts against future threats in a virtual environment. By running thousands of simulated scenarios, MCWL can identify capability gaps and help inform where the Marine Corps should invest to remain lethal and survivable.
