Militaries have tried for decades to build a wargaming framework that links the strategic, operational, and tactical levels into one coherent picture. It has never scaled. Every attempt runs into the same wall of cost, time, and the sheer burden of coordination needed to get the right people in the right rooms at the right moments. That wall is now cracking.

For months, the United States and Israel have intermittently pummeled the country with air strikes, decapitating much of its senior leadership. Yet Iran and its regional allies have proved remarkably dogged: Hezbollah remains a threat despite Israel’s blistering campaign in southern Lebanon, Iran-backed Iraqi militias have attacked Gulf oil and gas infrastructure, and the Houthis in Yemen have restarted their campaign against commercial ships in the Red Sea.In…
