Connable, Ben Author Modeling, simulation, and operations analysis in Afghanistan and Iraq : operational vignettes, lessons learned, and a survey of selected efforts [Place of publication not identified] Rand Corporation 2014 text txt computer c online resource cr Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph English "This research was sponsored by OSD-CAPE and conducted within the International Security and Defense Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute ... under contract W74V8H-06-C-0002."--Title page verso. RAND conducted a lessons learned examination of operations analysis, modeling, and simulation in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This report identifies ways in which analysts have attempted to support commanders' decisions in counterinsurgency and irregular warfare, describes many of the models and tools they employed, provides insight into the challenges they faced, and suggests ways in which the application of modeling, simulation, and analysis might be improved for current and future operations. RAND identified four broad categories of decisions: force protection, logistics, campaign assessment, and force structuring. Modeling, simulation, and analysis were most effective in supporting force protection and logistics decisions, and least effective in supporting campaign assessment and force structuring. Introduction -- Decision issues and analysis in COIN and IW literature -- Support to force protection decisions -- Support to logistics decisions -- Support to campaign assessment decisions -- Support to force structuring -- Conclusions, findings, and recommendations -- Appendix.
