Today, and in the future, unconventional solutions will present U.S. policymakers with options for dealing with threats to U.S. interests while retaining public support. As a result, United States Army Special Operation Command (USASOC) can expect an increased demand for unconventional warfare (UW) in the coming years and is refocusing its priorities accordingly. As United States Special Operation Command (USSOCOM) trains, equips, and restructures to meet future UW requirements, a...

Computer wargame simulations have typically provided military officers with an effective method of testing their knowledge of tactics and strategy. However, large simulations typically use a command language dialogue interfacing the uses with the wargame. This type of interface requires a great deal of typing skill and memorization of the language syntax and allowing little time for decision making and battle analysis. RESA is a typical theater level naval wargame which utilizes this type of...

This thesis involves a methodology for the development of stand-alone artificial intelligence programs for inclusion in a yet to be developed theatre level wargame for the Conventional Forces Analysis Division (CFAD) of the Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment Directorate (J-8) of The Joint Staff. It uniquely addresses some of the limitations observed in Tactical Warfare Model (TACWAR), extending the current research effort at the Naval Postgraduate School. The artificial intelligence...

The computer wargame simulation is a low resolution model used to simulate brief periods of combat in limited geographical areas. This simulation is adapted for use on any IBM compatible microcomputer with 128,000 or more Bytes of memory. This model may be used for training, command post exercises, or analyzing differing tactics, force structures, and weapon systems. Due to the complexity of the problem and the limited memory available, three separate programs are utilized. The first program...

This thesis develops the software capability to allow the investigation of C3 problems, procedures and methodologies. The resultant communications model, while independent of a specific wargame, is currently implemented in conjunction with the McClintic Theater Model (MTM). It provides a computerized message handling system (C3 model) which allows simulation of communication links (circuits) with user-definable delays; garble and loss rates; and multiple circuit types, addresses and levels of...

This thesis addresses a known deficiency of theater level wargames. The problem is the ability to produce a timely, flyable Air Tasking Order (ATO) that effectively uses assigned aircraft. Wargame pace and the lack of an effective planning tool prevented strike planning from being effectively implemented in the ATO. The model presented in this thesis offers a solution in the form of a computer based optimization model that produces ATO's. The model assigns strikes against all requested targets...

This thesis is an example of using a man-in-the-loop wargame to analyze the effects of information content of messages on carrier battle group anti-air warfare (AAW) defense. This is accomplished by examining on three levels of information content of messages: Low, Medium, and High. The Research, Evaluation, and System Analysis (RESA) wargame is used to compare three carrier air defense scenarios. The forces attacking the carrier battle group in each scenario are scripted to allow uniformity of...
