Abstract:

FIRST BATTLE is a low resolution battlefield simulation system designed to exercise division and corps staffs. The system was reviewed to provide an estimate of its credibility as a division level simulation and to provide specific comments on the Combat Results Tables. The results indicated that the simulation does provide a sound and credible means of running a division level Command Post Exercise with no modification of the basic rules or Combat Results Tables. Certain of the supplemental rules do require modification.
