Abstract:

This thesis analyzes deliberate attack missions conducted at the U.S. Army National Training Center and checks for relationships between ground force synchronization at the mission critical point and a measure of effectiveness. This analysis should facilitate the development of similar, or more in-depth, studies of combined arms operations in desert warfare. Procedures are developed to quantify the core offensive doctrinal concepts addressed in U.S. Army Field Manual 100-5 Operations. The thesis also addresses current critical shortfalls in the National Training Center data collection process and identifies agencies which can potentially render corrective support.
