Abstract
This thesis develops a Lanchester-type force-on- force combat model
simulating small -unit amphibious operations. The model commences with
a ship-to-shore assault of aggressor forces mounted onooard Landing
Vehicle Assault craft moving against a defensive force ashore. Once
the ship-to-shore phase of combat is completed, the model continues
to simulate land combat further inland between the assaulting aggressor
forces and other defensive forces occupying key terrain.
The main thrust of the thesis is to alleviate some of the problems
associated with the inherent abstractness of Lanchester-type combat
models; specifically, to develop "user-friendly" input-data and output
structure, and more thorough documentation of the model's a'gorithms
to provide a model which would be more easily understood ami utilized
by students of combat modeling.
