Abstract:

The logistics aspects of five war games are described. The range varied from that of SIGMALOGEX, a requirements model describing the ROK Army logistics system in complete detail, which is highly sophisticated, requires the use of a large capacity computer provided by the Korean Institute of Science and Technology, and is solely concerned with logistics to that of the ROC Armed Forces Staff College Sino-Soviet War Game, which has no logistics considerations. IDAHEX, a computerized model of conventional land warfare at the theater level developed by the Institute for Defense Analysis is recommended as the candidate for a USAWC war game on which a Sino-Soviet conflict could be played. The program includes the logic for handling maneuver and combat in any theater and at any level of complexity. Logistics is included in adequate detail to add a realistic constraint. A set of US foreign politics for the Far East is described with focus on US-PRC relations. Author
