Abstract

The chapter delves into the historical and contemporary use of games for military training, focusing on the acquisition of declarative knowledge. It introduces a unique micro-game, the Organizational Chart Puzzle (OCP), designed to facilitate quick learning of organizational structures in military exercises. The OCP is developed using the Unity3D game engine and features three difficulty levels. The chapter also describes the development of a Puzzle Editor for creating new games and presents usability testing results with a small sample of military personnel. The testing reveals promising outcomes, with participants quickly understanding and enjoying the game, and demonstrating high knowledge transfer from the game to a paper test. The chapter concludes by suggesting that simple puzzle micro-games could be effective tools for rapid learning of declarative knowledge in military contexts.
