Sigma II-65 war game
The Sigma II-65 war game was one 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. It was held between 26 July and 5 August 1965. The games were designed to replicate then-current conditions in Indochina, with an aim toward predicting future foreign affairs events. They were staffed with high ranking officials standing in to represent both domestic and foreign characters; stand-ins were chosen for their expertise concerning those they were called upon to represent. The games were supervised by a Control appointed to oversee both sides. The opposing Blue and Red Teams customary in war games were designated the friendly and enemy forces as was usual; however, several smaller teams were sometimes subsumed under Red and Blue Teams. Over the course of the games, the Red Team at times contained the Yellow Team for the Peoples Republic of China, the Brown Team for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Black Team for the Viet Cong,〔Allen, pp. 193–208.〕 and Green for the USSR.〔Gibbons, pp. 17–19.〕
Preparation for these simulations was quite extensive. A game staff of as many as 45 people researched and developed the scenarios. The actual play of the war game involved 30 to 35 participants. There were four or five simulations per year, solicited secretively from the State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and major military commands.〔Allen, pp. 31–32.〕
==Background==
On 23 July 1965, the U.S. Intelligence Board released Special National Intelligence Estimate 10-9-65. The opinion of the U.S. intelligence community was an escalation in American ground forces in South Vietnam would be countered by increased infiltration of northern troops to brace the Viet Cong. An increase in air attacks on North Vietnam would lead to their acquisition of more anti-aircraft defenses from the USSR. Only if the communists were losing were they expected to negotiate a ceasefire.〔Sorley, p. 213.〕
