'Unified Quest' game in US focuses on Nigeria and Somalia


Conflict

CARLISLE BARRACKS, Pa. (Army News Service, May 7, 2008) - The Nigerian government is near collapse and rival factions are vying for power in that troubled part of the world, or at least a visitor to the Army War College this week would think that to be the case.

The War College is hosting Unified Quest 08 which includes military leaders old and new from around the world as well as representatives from academia, industry and several different government agencies to discuss responses to global conflicts of the future.

The fictitious Nigerian scenario, set in 2013, is one of four such imaginary conflicts being played out. Three were set in 2013, one in Peru, one in the Philippines and the Nigerian one. There was also a scenario set in 2025
in Somalia.
