The game managers intended for the play of the game to originate from the perspective of the three major sectors responding to the emergency phase of modern peace operations: humanitarian, civilian police and military. It was suggested that each country send one professional from each sector to attend the game to promote a balanced representation. The International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Medical Corps represented the humanitarian viewpoint. The United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations provided a civilian police advisor. These subject matter experts contributed greatly to providing a holistic perspective and to educating what became manifestly a predominantly military audience on their areas of specialty.
