Problems of force posture evaluation
Expert InsightsPublished 1961
A discussion of methods of computation and of the reporting of results that provide the decisionmaker or evaluator with synthetic experience in central war. By emphasizing flexible methods for quick computation, the user can ask questions of the model, test particular hypotheses or doctrines, and examine the effects of unpredictables. The resultant model is useful in determining various strategic doctrines and force-posture decisions. Methods of computing mortalities and casualties are presented in an appendix.
