Linguistic Geometry (LG) is a mathematical theory that captures the decision making processes similar to those of the great chess masters. In the current demonstration LG is applied to a military combat game that allows users to test their strategies against an intelligent simulated force while receiving feedback regarding the accomplishment of the task and amount of resources spent. Additionally, a usability study was conducted on LG-based software (LG-PROTECTOR) indicating that the software was easy to learn and remember and has an interface conducive to training. The next generation of LG software (LG-EXPERT) is currently under development to provide increased capabilities that will help train users to “Think Like A Commander” as they practice rules of engagement and learn effective courses of action. Additional training implications are discussed.
