Multi-domain operational wargaming and strategic decision simulation.
The Cairo Group designs and adjudicates analytical tabletop exercises (TTX) and distributed operational simulations. We assist military leaders, defense strategists, and national security organizations in stress-testing plans against complex, adaptive peer adversaries.
Crafting realistic multi-domain orders of battle, logistics constraints, contested electromagnetic spectrum conditions, and plausible geopolitical triggers.
Employing transparent, rigorous adjudication methodologies that avoid predetermined outcomes and accurately capture operational friction and attrition.
Evaluating command tempo, inter-agency communication latency, and resource prioritization under degraded C2 and high-stress scenarios.

Upcoming Wargames
Exercise Ghosted Skies // Contested Theater Ingress
A focused multi-domain simulation evaluating operational resilience across contested maritime and air corridors. The exercise focuses on distributed C2 vulnerabilities, multi-axis long-range fires deconfliction, and fuel logistics under intermittent communications denial.
Project Northward // Arctic Communications Resiliency
Scheduled: Q1 2027Senior seminar exploring space and undersea infrastructure degradation across the GIUK Gap. Scenario framework is currently under development.
Previous Exercises & AARs
Exercise Iron Horizon // Baltic Operational Mobility
Evaluated theater reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI) under pervasive surveillance and contested inland infrastructure. The exercise identified critical bottlenecks in forward rail capacity and highlighted the strategic necessity of modular dispersal.
Exercise Cerberus Trident // Red Sea Maritime Escort
Examined multi-axis asymmetric drone and uncrewed surface vehicle saturation against commercial convoys and allied escorts. Key takeaways focused on the depth of vertical launch system (VLS) interceptor inventories over extended operational timelines.
Exercise planning documents, detailed scenario orders of battle, Master Scenario Event Lists (MSEL), and technical injects are restricted to active participants and approved exercise directors.
