he one-year agreement will see Babcock operating from JWC’s base in Stavanger, Norway, while also contributing to NATO’s wider command headquarters. The company will assist in designing, delivering, and managing professional wargames that simulate real-world conflict scenarios.
Wargaming serves as a crucial tool for military forces, allowing personnel to test strategies in a controlled, risk-free environment. It also helps improve command, control, and decision-making processes, ensuring operational effectiveness in real-world situations.
Jo Rayson, Managing Director of Babcock’s Training Business, highlighted the importance of wargaming in modern defence planning. She emphasised Babcock’s expertise in military training and its commitment to helping NATO refine and enhance its wargaming capabilities.
Babcock is already a key training provider for the British Armed Forces and has extensive experience in delivering high-quality military instruction. This latest contract follows a recent five-year agreement with NATO to supply subject matter experts for JWC training exercises.
