Digital Simulations
The simulation was designed and developed by Professor Walter Dorn (Department of Defence Studies at RMC and CFC). He is an operational professor who has served in UN missions and regularly visited them for over 20 years. Six years ago, during a sabbatical, he started exploring the new medium of digital simulation. He wanted to offer scenario-based learning to students in his courses on peace operations. To develop digital simulations, he created a team of a dozen researchers and developers who looked at UN operations and identified important lessons before gamifying them through the Unity Game Engine.

RMC Trailblazers: A Conversation with Alain Parent on Growth, Grit, and Giving Back
We sat down in mid-June with Lieutenant-General (Ret’d) Alain Parent to discuss his journey from cadet to VCDS and beyond, a career that took him to the heart of North America’s aerospace defence—and to the front lines of military operations and mentorship alike.
Early in the interview, Parent jokes that he graduated last in academics and first in “days of punishment” at CMR, but the real story is one of transformation. “If my early disciplinary record had followed me through my career,” he says candidly, “I might never have graduated, let alone reached general officer rank.” Instead, the military college system gave him room to fail, be accountable, and course-correct—setting the stage for a leadership journey that would span nearly four decades.
