4. Wargaming the Middle East: the Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities
4. Wargaming the Middle East: The Evolution of Simulated Battlefields from Chequerboards to Virtual Worlds and Instrumented Artificial Cities Janina Schupp Abstract Shortly after the end of a tank combat during the Gulf War, a team of US Army historians, scientists, and engineers flew to Iraq to gather detailed data of the battle. The collected information was used to create an exact virtual simulation of the combat for training. The mapping capability – offered by the resulting simulation game 73 Easting – to visualize the battlefield from any position and point in time revolutionized military exercises. With ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, these digital training cartographies are now linked to real bodies and vehicles through digital and mobile technologies during live training in artificially constructed villages. This chapter analyses this evolution and critically investigates the growing ‘gamification’ ensuing in these representations of Middle Eastern battlefields. Keywords: Wargames, Middle East, interactive battlespace, live simulations In war the experienced soldier reacts in the same way as the human eye does in the dark: the pupil expands to admit what little light there is, discerning objects by degrees, and finally seeing them indistinctly. By contrast, the novice is plunged into the deepest night. […] It is immensely important that no soldier, whatever his rank, should wait for war to expose him to those aspects of active service that amaze and confuse him when he first comes across them. (Clausewitz 1989, p. 122) Strohmaier, A. and A. Krewani (eds.), Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa: Producing Space. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2021 doi 10.5117/9789462989092_ch04 96 JANINA SCHUPP The act of playing at war is deeply engrained in human history and has per- sisted to the present day in both professional and hobby culture. -

ii Copyright 2016 By Susan Forsyth iii Funding Acknowledgement This dissertation was supported by: • The University of California, San Francisco Graduate Dean’s Health Science Fellowship • The Eugene Cota Robles Doctoral Fellowship • Dissertation award from the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program (TRDRP), grant #22DT-0003. iv Acknowledgments I would first like to thank the participants who gave freely of their time and stories. Without them this dissertation would never have been written. I knew almost nothing about video games before I started this and their patient explanations of things most obvious was greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Ruth Malone. In 2008, when I sat in my first graduate class, I was not sure if I even belonged. Dr. Malone encouraged me and helped me believe in myself as a person and as a scholar. She opened doors for me that I did not know even existed. Ruth has mentored me for the last eight years, and for this I am honored and grateful. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee, Dr. Ruth Malone (chair), Dr. Kit Chesla and Dr. Roberta Rehm. Their gentle and careful guidance has seen me safely through one of the most challenging journeys of my life. I would like to thank my qualifying exam committee, Dr. Christine Kennedy (chair), Dr. Ruth Malone, Dr. Roberta Rehm and Dr. Susan Kools. Through your expertise and direction this project was shaped into what it is today. I would also like to thank Dr. Lisa Bero and Dr. Donna Odierna. I joined their reasearch group for ten weeks and stayed five years. -

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions +Finding the correct .exe file for a gaming-mouse profile If you're having trouble with profile detection, you may not have the profile associated with the correct or active game .exe file. To find the active .exe for a game, you can either: Associate automatically using a G-Series keyboard with an LCD screen (see 360023243694). OR Find the .exe through Windows Task Manager (see 360023243694). NOTE: You only need to do one of the above if the profile is not associated correctly. If you can point to the correct .exe when creating a profile, you don't need to do either one. +Troubleshooting gaming mouse profile detection using Logitech Gaming Software You can configure your gaming mouse separately for each game or application on your computer (see 360023406553 for instructions). When a game is launched, the profile associated with it should activate. Sometimes, the profile doesn't activate properly, which can prevent game- specific settings from being applied. When a game profile isn't activating properly: Try using a Persistent Profile (see answer 360023406553 for instructions). NOTE: Using a persistent profile will help you determine if the Logitech Gaming Software is working properly. Make sure the correct .exe file is selected for the game (see answer 360023406553 for help). Check that both the single player and multiplayer .exe files have profiles (see answer 360023406553 for help). +Troubleshooting mouse button assignments and macros using Logitech Gaming Software When your button assignments and macros aren't working the way you configured them, the problem usually has to do with the active profile. -

It is called the crossroads of Central Asia for a very good reason, now it’s time to go back to school! Tajikistan is a landlocked country that shares borders with Uzbekistan, China and Afghanistan, with Pakistan adjacent to its south. Over 90% of this country is mountains, mainly the Pamir range, part of the “Roof of the World”. Our operations will take place on and around the Vakhsh River, better known as the Red River. The capital city is Dushanbe and its two main exports are aluminium and cotton. The indigenous population are the Tajiks, a Persian speaking people, with a culture and history tied into Afghanistan and Iran. Its colourful history has seen it often conquered but never occupied. It belonged to the Persian Empire until the 4th century BC, when Alexander the Great claimed it for the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom. -
