Abstract:

The report consists of four sections. The first section concerns the historical development of operations research and related areas along with some comments on the political background in which this occurred. The second section discusses open Soviet military literature in general and is intended to point out both its abundance, and how it shows that they follow our open literature very closely. The third section looks briefly at each of the several Soviet books on Military O.R. with some comparisons with our own literature. The final section looks at what can be discerned from the literature taken as a whole with regard to personalities, organization, and trends.
