(CNN)The "enemies" will have fictional names, but when hundreds of US military personnel around the globe log on to their computers later this summer for a highly classified war game, it will be clear what a major focus of the scenarios will be -- how the US should respond to aggressive action and unexpected moves by China and Russia.
Several defense officials tell CNN that the war game is a top priority for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, who will lead the exercise. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will be briefed as it plays out.
The war game is designed to equip the US military's top leaders to deal with a fictional global crisis erupting on multiple fronts and players will have to deal with constantly changing scenarios and compete for military assets like aircraft carriers and bombers.
They will take place at a crucial time for the Pentagon just months into Joe Biden's presidency.

WNU Editor: When Russia is involved in these war simulations, a nuclear exchange is usually the end result. I expect the same result in this war game simulation.

Have you ever seen college students p[lay Star Fleet Battles? Subsequently, they go into the military and some of them work on the war game simulations.

Here is the question.
Has a recent US president from Bill Clinton onward sat in on one of these simulations. Have they questioned the assumptions or looked at the what if scenarios?
Maybe sitting in on the simulation in addition to being briefed, when make the QWDR more interesting reading.
Joe Biden is being hid in the White House Basement. More spacious digs than his basement in Delaware to be sure. So it is an 'upgrayd' for him.
But what about Kamala. She could attend.
Maybe some Representatives or Senators could attend if they have the proper clearances and they are on the intel or defense committees. Unless their name is Leaky Leahy or "I slept with a spy "Swalwell".
