Summary/Abstract: In the realm of professional military education, innovative pedagogical methodologies are pivotal for fostering strategic thinking and adaptive leadership qualities among cadets. This paper delves into the effectiveness of role-play games as a means of experiential learning within military training, with a particular emphasis on the Ukrainian defense and security sector amidst the ongoing conflict. Drawing from insights gleaned from research papers and practical applications this study examines how role-playing games intersect with cadet training. By analyzing various approaches and practical examples, we aim to illuminate the potential of role-play games in enhancing strategic mindsets and decision-making skills among future military leaders. Understanding the dynamics of incorporating role-playing into military pedagogy is crucial for optimizing the educational experience of cadets and preparing them to navigate the complexities of contemporary warfare effectively.
