reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0604491 | Open PDF

Abstract:

An attempt to wed command and control operations to war games in order to understand the processes and problems of command and control is examined. It is concluded that this analysis of command and control provides a new use for war gaming studies. In it, the detailed, dynamic representation of the situation, complete with the fog of war and the human equation, are very important ingredients.
