Virtual switchboard to resiliency resources.

Resiliency Switchboard was developed by a USAF First Sergeant as a virtual switchboard app that connects USAF Resiliency Integrators and First Sergeants (the primary audience for this application) to a network of resources across the Department of the Air Force, Department of Defense, and supportive national organizations across the United States.

Resiliency Switchboard is a hypothetical game centered around managing and optimizing a complex network of interconnected systems under constant stress and unpredictable disruptions. The core gameplay revolves around the concept of "resiliency," which is the ability of a system to recover quickly from difficulties. Players take on the role of a network administrator or crisis manager responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of a critical infrastructure, such as a power grid, communication network, or transportation system.

The "Switchboard" aspect of the title suggests a central control panel or interface through which players interact with the various components of the network. Players likely have access to real-time data on system performance, potential vulnerabilities, and incoming threats. They must strategically allocate resources, reroute traffic, and implement contingency plans to mitigate the impact of disruptions.

Gameplay would likely involve a combination of strategic planning and tactical decision-making. Before a crisis occurs, players need to invest in preventative measures, such as redundancy, backup systems, and early warning systems. During a crisis, they must react quickly to assess the situation, prioritize critical functions, and make tough choices about which systems to protect and which to sacrifice.

The game could incorporate elements of resource management, risk assessment, and problem-solving. Players might need to balance competing priorities, such as cost efficiency and system robustness. They would also need to anticipate potential cascading failures, where one disruption triggers a chain reaction of further problems. Success in Resiliency Switchboard would depend on the player's ability to think ahead, adapt to changing circumstances, and maintain a calm and rational approach under pressure.
