Fast-paced and realistic joint crises have long been the hallmark of the National Collegiate Security Conference. From the tree-lined majesty of the Appian Way, to the jungles of Angola, to the rolling plains of central Europe, NCSC joint crises have seen the victory and defeat of armies and the rise and fall of great powers. This year’s Joint Crisis Simulations promise to continue this dynamic tradition. Participants will have the pleasure of contending in the smallest and most crisis-driven simulations NCSC has to offer.
