"Analysis of Local Wars"

Edwin W. Paxson

ResearchPublished 1954

This document presents a preliminary outline and summary of the information required to conduct a war game insofar as that may be foreseen. It also considers methodology briefly. Most of the items apply to both North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Soviet Union forces under proper interpretation, and the information should be collected with this full symmetry in view. With some changes in emphasis, the outline represents any year from about the year of publication to 1960, but the particular year to which a war game relates must be specified exactly.
