During PACSIM, hosted by the 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC), leaders from Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) command, U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) and Air and Missile Defense (AMD) experts and stakeholders, utilized constructive simulation, informed by the 94th AAMDC’s provided data, to support simulation goals and tabletop exercises.
