The Innovations in DoD Gaming Competition was designed to determine and publicize a use of game technology that is utilized in an innovative manner to accomplish realistic and effective military training. Thirteen games entries were submitted and evaluated on qualities such as innovative approach, training effectiveness, and replay value. Will Wright, creator of the strategic life-simulation computer game “The Sims,” joined Frank DiGiovanni, Deputy Director, Readiness and Training Policy and Programs, Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, and Paul Jesukiewicz, Director, ADL Initiative to present awards to the winners of the inaugural "Innovations in DoD Gaming" Competition at the 2010 Defense GameTech Users’ Conference, held in Orlando, FL on March 29-31.
Two teams tied for second-place, and awards were given to Battle Command Training Center Joint Base Lewis-McChord (represented by Captain Jeremy Guy, Chief of Small Unit Training and Jon Sullenberger, SAIC Lead, Plans & Training Support) and D2 TEAM Sim 3-6 Air Defense Artillery Schoolhouse (represented by James Cimino, senior program manager). The exposure created at GameTech will allow all the winners to create more awareness and bring more attention to the possibilities afforded to military training via games.
