Abstract:
This report describes the approach taken by the U.S. Army Concepts Analysis Agency to validate and enhance the command and control (C2) decision rules in the Force Evaluation Model (FORCEM) through the structured application of military expertise and statistical analysis. FORCEM is a fully automated computer model that simulates combat, combat support. and combat services support in a theater. C2 is treated through a set of decisions, each represented through embedded rules which in turn reference preselected information from the perception data base. In this study, the knowledge of students at the U.S. Army War College is used to validate and enhance the decision rules in FORCEM. Eight of the decisions treated in FORCEM are selected for experimentation. For each decision, an experiment is designed wherein the perception data base variables used in making the decision in FORCEM are controlled and varied. For each case (with a value assigned to each perception data base variable), the subject is asked what the decision should be. Each experiment (one decision, a number of cases) is administered to a group of subjects. Statistical analysis is applied to the results of the experiments. Keywords: War games; Analysis of variance.
