Other types of exercise include the Tactical Exercise Without Troops (TEWT), also known as a [[sand table]], map, cloth model, or [[computer simulation]] exercise. These allow commanders to manipulate [[model (abstract)|models]] through possible scenarios in military planning. This is also called warfare simulation, or in some instances a [[virtual battlefield]], and in the past has been described as "wargames". Such examples of modern military wargames include [[DARWARS]], a [[serious game]] developed since 2003 by [[DARPA]] with [[BBN Technologies]], a [[defense contractor]] which was involved in the development of [[packet switching]], used for [[ARPANET]], and which developed the first [[computer modem]] in 1963.

Military operations and training have included different scenarios a soldier might encounter with morals and different ethics. In one military operation soldiers are frequently asked to engage in combat, humanitarian, and stabilization roles. These increase the ambiguity of a role one may encounter and challenge of ethics. This will also lead the military personnel to have to make a difficult call in challenging circumstances.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Thompson|first1=Megan M.|last2=Jetly|first2=Rakesh|date=2014-08-01|title=Battlefield ethics training: integrating ethical scenarios in high-intensity military field exercises|journal=European Journal of Psychotraumatology|volume=5|issue=s2|pages=23668|doi=10.3402/ejpt.v5.23668|pmid=25206947|pmc=4138704|issn=2000-8198|doi-access=free}}</ref> Even in difficult situations and conditions, military personnel still has to follow rules and regulations such as: 1) when the right thing to do is not immediately clear; 2) when two or more important principles or values support different actions, and 3) when some harm will result, regardless of the actions taken (Defense Ethics Program, Department of National Defense, 2012). These simulations involve crude living conditions, sleep deprivations, time limit, and either lack or ambiguous amount of information.

A subset of simulated exercises is the Table Top Exercise (TTX), typically limited to senior personnel stepping through the decision-making processes they would employ in a crisis, a contingency, or general warfare.
