Trevor Nash was educated at Fitzharrys School and Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. After serving for 15 years in the British Army, where he specialized in tactical battlefield nuclear weapons and air defense and qualified as an Instructor in Gunnery (Guided Weapons) and a NATO Winter Warfare Instructor, he joined the simulation industry as a program manager. Focused on air defense and flight simulation, he retired from the simulation industry in 1990 as a marketing director.

Qualifying as a pilot in 1989, he began his career in defense journalism and after working for a European publishing house, became a freelance journalist and consultant where he specializes in simulation and training. He lives in Devon and is married with three adult children.

Giles was educated at Magdalen College School and Merton College, Oxford. He joined the Royal Marines in 1971 and his early service was in 45 Commando RM, including Arctic Warfare training in Norway.

Having specialized as a Signals Officer in 1978, he went on to hold a variety of communications appointments during his military career, including that of communications staff officer of 3 Commando Brigade and command of both 3 Commando Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron and the Royal Marines Signal Training Wing, as well as an exchange posting with the Army at the Royal School of Signals, Blandford. He attended the Army Staff College at Camberley in 1985-86, and subsequent appointments, outside communications, included Fleet Amphibious Intelligence officer on the staff of Commander-in-Chief Fleet and within the Directorate of Naval Operations in the Ministry of Defence. In late 1996 he commanded the multi-national training team in the Baltic States as part of the Baltic Battalion project.
