Tufts Field Exercise in Peace and Stability Operations (FieldEx) Details
The Tufts Field Exercise in Peace and Stability Operations (FIELDEX) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary simulation exercise led by undergraduates from the student group ALLIES (Alliance Linking Leaders in Education and the Services). FIELDEX seeks to expose participants to the difficulties of decision making during conflict, the complementary and competing interests of the stakeholders involved, and the inter-agency collaboration essential to a successful mission.FIELDEX provides students with a unique experiential learning opportunity that:1. Encourages application of classroom theories to simulated real-world crises;2. Fosters greater understanding of the complexities of conflict;3. Develops leadership, decision-making, and crisis management skills in fast-paced and challenging scenarios;4. Offers insight into operational difficulties that students will likely face as future leaders in government, civilian, military, and non-governmental organizations.
