Battle simulation

Battle simulations (also referred to as war games) is a method of practising and honing a group's skills in warfare. The number and type of simulations are varied and include ship-to-ship, ground combat, starship and facility defense. The size can range from a single individual (through the use of holography) to hundreds or thousands of personnel.

In late-2373, Captain Jonathan Masters run a war game on the USS between the Starfleet Marine Corps company and the rest of the ship's personnel. The operation was to simulate a boarding action on the ship by the Marines. In the end of the games the Marines were victorious when they captured the ship's bridge.
