The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command in Washington D.C. has just awarded a construction contract to create a wargaming facility at the Quantico Marine Corps base. The U.S. Marine Corps had publicized its intention to create this new facility back in late 2020.
Clark Construction Group LLC, a Bethesda, Md. based company, has been awarded a $79 million contract to build a 100,000 square-foot center to be built on the Marine Corps University Campus. The new state-of-the-art facility will run classified wargame scenarios that are designed to deal with a high-tech enemy.
"The wargaming center will also allow us to work at all levels of security, meaning from unclassified all the way up to the highest levels of security for specific programs that are very closely held," Lt. General Eric Smith, head of Marine Corps Combat Development Command told Military.com in Sept. 2020.
