War gaming for USA promotion

Hegseth announced that senior leaders seeking star promotions in the major services will now undergo a wargaming process to assess their strategic decision-making under pressure. This process will include both written and simulated portions, with AI alluded to as a potential component. This new promotion testing could potentially serve as a method to train models for autonomous war scenario gaming by studying senior officers' responses.

Unlike previous promotion processes, this new requirement for senior leaders explicitly incorporates wargaming and alludes to AI, marking a shift in how strategic decision-making is evaluated.
