Sigma I-62 war game
The Sigma I-62 war game, played in February 1962, was the first of a series of classified high level war games played in the Pentagon during the 1960s to strategize the conduct of the burgeoning Vietnam War.〔Staff, p. C-34. () Retrieved 15 November 2014.〕 These simulations were designed to replicate then-current conditions in Indochina, with an aim toward predicting future foreign affairs events. The conclusion drawn from Sigma I-62 was that American intervention in Vietnam would be unsuccessful.〔Ball, pp. 92–93.〕
==Sigma I-62 background==
The United States gradually sank into its role in Indochina as the French departed. Having assumed the French responsibilities in the region, the U.S. found itself facing a volatile future there. In October 1961, President John F. Kennedy was presented with two potential courses of action in Vietnam. His staff members, Walter Rostow and retired General Maxwell Taylor recommended an increase in military advisers and a commitment of 8,000 U.S. combat troops to South Vietnam. A conflicting recommendation by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and the Joint Chiefs of Staff called for committing six American combat divisions, comprising 200,000 soldiers. Kennedy held a decision on combat troops in abeyance,〔The History Place, () Retrieved 10 November 2014.〕 though he forwarded 1,000 added advisers to South Vietnam,〔The History Learning Site () Retrieved 10 November 2014.〕 including Farm Gate instructors from the Special Air Warfare Center at Eglin Air Force Base.〔Churchill, p. 12.〕
In Southeast Asia, war was already brewing, as President Dwight D. Eisenhower told incoming President Kennedy at his inauguration. Southeast Asian nations could fall into communist hands like dominos.〔Castle, p. xiii.〕 In Laos, the ongoing course of events had already led to the start of the Second Indochina War. Troops of the Royal Lao Government were engaged in a slow motion battle at the Luang Namtha near the Chinese border as 1961 turned into 1962.〔Conboy, Morrison, pp. 67–73.〕
