OPENING REMARKS
NAV MAT WAR G/~'IING FILM
VADM STANSFIELI) TURNER, USN
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you to the
Naval War College and specifically to our Center for War
Gaming. Each of you has been sent here by the Naval
Material Command to simulate employment of the hardware
you work with daily.
You are here because the Navy feels that the research
anal development community should have an opportunity t.o
experience the tactical decisions that face a fleet com-
mander and to acquaint you with how technological
progress has affected our capabilities.
In your particular areas of specialization, you are
each concerned primarily with decisions as they apply to
your own projects. War gaming allows you to expand this
base and apply the information to research and development
for the fleet as a whole.
You will evaluate new programs in a realistic environ-
ment you will see how systems still in the deve7.op-
mental stage. might work in an operational status--
long before procurement is possible.
Those of you who already are operationally oriented
may gain further insight into new systems or modifications
which -could be of great value to the fleet in the future.

 Approved For Release 2001/09/05: CIA-RDP80B01554R003500340001-0
This simulated wartime environment provides still
another opportunity. and an important one--for the
exchange of ideas between members of our technical
communities and those of the operational forces. Its
a pleasure to welcome you all to Newport. I hope you
will find this week most profitable.
