Experiment Structure
The series was constructed from 4 different experiments (code named Casey, Cowboy, Cobra, and Cogwheel). The first of these (Casey) used college students as crew for the air defense scenario whilst members of the United States Air Force were used in the latter experiments. For each of the 4 experiments different structures and timespans were used:
- Casey: 28 college students, 54 4-hour sessions
- Cowboy: 39 Air Force officers and airmen, 22 8-hour sessions
- Cobra: 40 Air Force officers and airmen, 22 8-hour sessions
- Cogwheel: 33 Air Force officers and airmen, 14 4-hour sessions

Famous quotes containing the words experiment and/or structure:
“To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God’s hand, his brain as God’s brain, his purpose as God’s purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
