Abstract
This course was originally developed in 1980 while I was in the Chair of Applied Systems
Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. It was based on campaign analyses typical among
Navy Pentagon planners and CINC staffs. As one project, students were required to report on and
evaluate individual classified studies in the library for each other. As these studies faded in
relevance there were few replacements, because in the early 1980s the Navy closed down its
campaign analysis machinery for a decade. But decision-makers hungered for some sort of
appraisals. Strategic war gaming was substituted and is still a prominent, overworked tool for
campaign and force level planning. The lost art of campaign analysis was revived in the 1990s,
but often over- emphasizes high fidelity or comprehensive simulation.
