Abstract
Combat attrition can be modelled as either a deterministic
or a stochastic process. In this thesis the forecasts
of combat outcomes generated by deterministic and
stochastic Lanchaster-type models for combat between two
homogeneous forces are compared. Using stochastic formulations,
the probability of winning is studied and contrasted
with a deterministic win criterion for some idealized combat
situations. Force ratios required to assure victory in an
attack are studied from this standpoint.
