This monograph examines how the U.S. Army compares to other complex systems in the use of information to solve problems. Like most complex systems, the U.S. Army strives to attain an informational advantage over its opponents. However, according to...
The defense and intelligence community initiatives to create persistent surveillance capabilities and enable access to the resultant continuous data streams will create significant change in the joint force and partners operating across the domains...
Decision making in combat is one of the core competencies most valued in leaders. Much effort is dedicated to the analysis of decision-making models, processes, and methodologies in order to develop skills that enable leaders to make qualitatively...
The Army must develop leaders who are capable of managing uncertainty and change; leaders who can intellectually innovate. Intellectual change and innovation is the basis of appropriate and enduring physical/organizational change. How an...
The art and science of military intelligence analysis has been scrutinized for its accuracy and value since the beginning of warfare. With every advance in technology and information processing, the delta between the trained cognitive capabilities...
The Army After Next (AAN) wargames surface a ubiquitous and recurring issue. AAN dominance in open terrain prompts the enemy to seek the protection of complex urban terrain. This response effectively nullifies the AAN Battle Force advantages gained...
Military operations are complex and chaotic phenomena. Current theoretical models inadequately deal with the increasing complexity and inherent uncertainty of modern warfare. Relying on mechanistic paradigms and reductionist methods of analysis,...
The Army’s role in the Joint Airspace Command and Control system is not adequate to support combat operations effectively on the current and future battlefields of the United States Joint Force. The current and future battlefields of the United...
The objectives of Engineer are to inform, motivate, increase knowledge, improve performance, and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. Views ex-pressed are those of the authors and not those of the Department of Defense or its elements. The...
This monograph addresses existing shortcomings in the principles for employment of scatterable and remotely delivered mines. Such mines, part of an overall revolution in the conduct of land mine warfare, are an integral component of the deep, close...
Whether adjusting to a new environment or to an evolving threat, America's Army of the 21st century must be adaptable and become more innovative. The operational environment is becoming more complicated and complex. Societal trends, such as...
In 1996, Joint Vision 2010 (JV2010) established a template for transforming the armed forces that continues to define sustainment transformation within the U.S. Army, while the publication of Network Centric Warfare in 1999 provided the theoretical...
The Army After Next envisions an Army which has two key attributes, Knowledge and Speed. Speed is the ability of weapons systems to move faster on the battlefield. Knowledge is the ability of forces throughout the battlefield to see themselves and...
In order to determine whether Reserve Component (RC) forces are essential to the task of exploiting imagery intelligence (IMINT) and geospatial information in support of combatant commanders' operational and strategic intelligence requirements, it...
Force development trends since the end of the Cold War have dictated a smaller, more lethal force that is capable of rapidly responding to a multitude of contingencies from a CONUS base - force projection. The tremendous growth in information and...
The future of battle won’t be fought with tanks and artillery in a force on force manner; it will be fought in an urban environment where the friend or foe isn’t easily identified (Graham, 2005). Guerrilla warfare is a collective group of...
Is it feasible to develop a battalion level stochastic simulation of combined arms operations? A methodology for app1ication of such a model in support of type studies in the area of tactics, doctrine, organization, and material was developed. A...
This publication documents tactics, techniques, and procedures for conducting Joint Theater Missile Target Development (JTMTD). It establishes a common framework for soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines responsible for intelligence preparation of...
