This study investigates the feasibility of designing, constructing, and operating a conceptual model of a tactical operations center simulator. The model is intended to simulate performance tasks identified for Army Security Agency company level...
This study assumes the need for a dedicated unit organized and trained to support corps-level deception operations in multiple environments. The research question asks "what is the best organization and methods of employment of a unit exclusively...
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...
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...
Recent intelligence reports indicate that Warsaw Pact forces are placing increased emphasis on the use of tactical smoke. In response, US forces have begun to evaluate their own capabilities to employ smoke. One method of conducting this evaluation...
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...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the question of how modern terrorist groups manage to survive in the face of aggressive counterterrorist operations by security forces. Al Qa'ida survives to this day, despite the destruction of their...
This monograph develops a framework for focusing military operations at an adversary's decision making processes by developing the concept of decision space, analyzing theories pertaining to decision making (specifically, Boyd's...

The need for helicopter aeromedical research is examined from several aspects: (1) a historical review of aeromedical research from the beginning of flight to the establishment of an Army helicopter aeromedical research laboratory in 1962; (2) the...
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 whether or not a Combatant Command Training Program would improve Joint Task Force (JTF) synchronization in a resource constrained environment. Using historical examples, doctrinal analysis, and current combatant command...
This monograph examines operational level logistics and deception in an effort to determine whether a coherent deception plan can be formulated undergirded by creative logistical arrangements that will allow the commander to deceive an alert...
The Joint Non-Kinetic Effects Model (JNEM) is a computer based simulation for training Division and Corps Commanders and Staffs in a manner that accurately replicates the complexities of interacting with civilian populations. The model replicates...
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 purpose of this monograph is to examine the capabilities of commercial computer wargames and determine if the Army can use them to train its leaders. The study is intended for all Army leaders, from team leader through joint task force...
This graphic survey of radio and radar equipment used by the Army Air Forces is intended to furnish authorized personnel with graphic and narrative data relative to description, electrical and physical characteristics, purpose, and tactical...
This manual deals with the camouflage of bivouacs, command posts, supply points, and medical installations. Although these installations are treated in separate sections, their camouflage problems are much alike. Each is an activity in which...
I served as a task force sergeant major during Operation Iraqi Freedom I. I am writing about my personal experience during the train-up, operation, and the change to the signal corps. I will explain the processes used to prepare soldiers for...
