This thesis surveys various methods for modeling land
combat and examines the assumptions underlying each method.
The users of land combat models are identified according to
the nature of the problems that they are trying to solve:
weapons system life-cycle management/ tactical planning and
doctrine/ force structuring/ education and training/ and
research and methodology. The distinction between models
and the modeling process is made and some of its
consequences explored. A survey of modeling methodologies
is presented: it includes high-resolution Monte Carlo
simulations/ Lanches ter-type models, analytical models,
manual war games/ firepower scores models, the hierarchy of
models concept/ and the Quantified Judgment Method of
Analysis. Finally/ a basic reading list on models is
provided for the beginning military operations research
analyst.
