Placed under the authority of the Army Major-General, the CDEC delivers higher military instruction, as well as command courses at the four centers of higher learning under its authority, including the French Command and General Staff College (CGSC).
The Crimson Sandbox solution was selected and used, for the first time, in a strategic training exercise conducted by the French CGSC under the auspices of the CDEC. The plateform allowed for a seamless rendering of the pawn moves onto a 3D, online mapping support, the comparison of strategies between players and shared situational awareness at various levels of command. The participants have familiarised themselves with the solution rapidly, and taken advantage of its replay capabilities, an added bonus from a teaching perspective.
