As a result of the growing capabilities of computers, the Army has used wargaming increasingly for training and education activities, force planning, doctrine development, acquisition and cost analysis, operational test and evaluation, and campaign...
The U.S. Army spends millions of dollars to develop and implement simulations for training. Simulations allow the Army to train commanders and staffs in a wide range of tasks. Simulations have evolved into complex software and hardware programs...
This analysis examines the validity of using miniature wargaming to study the American Civil War. The analysis specifically examines the miniature wargame rules, STARS*N*BARS III. The goal is to determine whether Civil War combat can be accurately...
This research thesis is a study through a military commercial industry partnership to seek whether investments in military modeling and simulation can be easily transferred to benefit commercial industry. This document provides a methodology for...
This monograph examines near term and improved means for combat preparations built from simulations used in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT, formerly known as SIMNET (Simulation Network)) and the current JANUS/BBS (Brigade Battle...
The US military faces new strategic challenges in the 21st Century. Amongst them is the ability to rapidly project sufficient force to address these challenges. This monograph researches the potential deployment of a US Army heavy force package...
In December 1994 Russian armored forces assaulted Grozny, Chechnya in an attempt to subdue armed opposition groups seeking independence. Within twenty-four hours of urban combat the Chechens destroyed two brigade-sized units while suffering minimal...
This study investigates the effectiveness of naval aircraft carrier intelligence support to the units of the 10th Mountain Division during its transit to Haiti to participate in Operations RESTORE DEMOCRACY and UPHOLD DEMOCRACY. The study reviews...
The federal government response to Hurricane Katrina demonstrated a vital need for the military to improve the process for assessment, response, and decision-making for all organizations involved. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is an emerging...
Based on the current unsustainable defense budget and impending reductions, the Aviation Branch must develop a plan now to prevent a deterioration of flight skills among aviators when budget reductions can potentially decrease flight training...
This monograph examines the current force structure of the Bottom-Up Review and its ability to meet the requirements as outlined in the National Military Strategy. The goals and objectives of the national U.S. strategy are examined in the context...
This thesis examines the impact on medical units caused by the proliferation of lasers on today's battlefields; it demonstrates that a significant number of casualties are possible and shows the need for more rigorous modeling to quantify and...

The Essayons, originally published as the Fort Leonard Wood Guidon in 1966 then as the Guidon from 1966 to 1987. Became Essayons in 1988 and remained that way until 1999 when it reverted back to Guidon. It has been and continues to be a record of...
he transformation of the United States Army from the Current Force to the Future Force is ongoing and will affect every aspect of the Army as it is known today. The ability to see first, act first, and finish decisively, also known as the ...
The purpose of this thesis is to identify and examine potential applications of off the shelf computer simulations in order to train decision making and to teach tactics at the battalion level and below. This study is intended to be used by...
The purpose of this paper was threefold. First to introduce basic pulse modulated radar theory while concurrently identifying those analytically descriptive parameters and environmental factors which should be considered in realistic radar...
During DESERT STORM, Army Aviation established that it has matured as a combat arm. When employed in close combat, aviation is deadly and decisive. Aviation forces can deliver decided combat power to formidable operational depths, poising itself as...
The US Army’s doctrinal problem solving method is the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP). This formal process is tailorable in application and serves as a standard guide for developing solutions to operational and tactical problems by Army...
Trauma training is regularly conducted within the military medical community in an environment of increasing scrutiny and pressure to replace animals with inanimate alternatives. This thesis uses the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) animal...
