The roles: who is playing what on which day.
Schedule for each simulation
Introduction by National Security Advisor (the instructor) and any opening remarks by POTUS
Round one (15-20 minutes): each participant makes a one-minute opening statement of initial position. The president may ask questions.
Round two (20-30 minutes): Participants defend their recommendations and identify potential areas of compromise or disagreement. The National Security Advisor will call on students in the order in which they volunteer.
Round three (15-20 minutes). The president starts by laying out 1–3 preferred options. The National Security Advisor then guides the discussion. After the airing of the policy options, POTUS should choose a policy option and may combine the strongest elements of several options. Remember, the NSC is not democratic and is an advisory, not decision-making, body. A vote is not necessary. The president does not need to choose the most popular option.
Remaining time: debrief and reflection
