 		ARGs and the Military
US military runs an ARG

This may answer what Dave Szulborski has been working on. I am not familiar at all with BBN Technologies, his partner in this project.

Quote:
BBN engaged Szulborski to develop the ARG's initial scenario and to build on the rich content as the responses and changing circumstances affect the fictional situation. Aptima will evaluate the demonstration and measure participants' responses against specific learning goals.

BBN's Helical Training is a novel application of ideas inspired by ARGs that focuses on information management, distributed coordination, and organizational navigation. A Helical Training event is an immersive, interactive training course that virtually brings together many trainees from different locations to work together to accomplish both individual and group goals in a shared scenario.

 		At ARGFest San Francisco he mentioned that the military was his newest client. Way cool!!!

Humanitarian mission - that's potentially in my personal realm of call to duty (as a dietitian in the USAFR). I'm eager to see how this plays out (maybe Dave will update us?).

 		In a previous life, I was involved in certain tech development efforts for the DOD and I can certainly imagine that with the "cover all contingencies" methodologies they require, something like this could be the biggest can of worms, from a PM perspective, any of us could possibly imagine.

Best of luck on this one, Dave. I'm sure with you and your scenarios management skills on-board, it'll be a very rewarding effort for both your partners and you.
