This Note provides an overview of the main theater warfare model developed as part of the RAND Strategy Assessment System (RSAS, Release 3.0), in a game-structured simulation of global conflict. This model covers land and air combat in Central Europe and Korea and is part of a global combat model (CAMPAIGN) that provides a fully integrated treatment of conventional, theater-nuclear, and intercontinental-nuclear warfare worldwide. The model has been designed to answer "What if?" questions quickly, to be used either as a closed simulation or as an interactive game, and to be flexible. It permits the user to vary assumptions about a broad range of qualitative and quantitative issues such as national fighting effectiveness, maximum combat intensity, air-ground interactions, etc. The model is also unique in its treatment of maneuver because it allows the attacker and defender to have explicit concepts of maneuver at corps level and above.

The purpose of this thesis is to design, develop, and demonstrate a decision model to dynamically apportion and allocate air assets in a theater level combat model subject to specified air campaign plan. The methods described are combined into a stand-alone air apportionment I air allocation (AA)2 model. The model translates the objectives of an air campaign phases into sets of strength categories that are used to value enemy unit capabilities. These strength categories are assigned desired levels by a user that define when a strength has been reduced to an acceptable level. These desired levels apportion friendly air assets between different strength categories based on the objectives the campaign phases. The strength categories are also used to value each potential target. These values are used to allocate sorties to reduce the strength of the potential target to the desired level. The model uses the strength values of potential targets to determine if the objectives of a campaign phase have been satisfied and whether to activate any follow-on phases. A demonstration of the (AA)2 model is included using a two phase air campaign. (AN).

This effort, which addresses measures of effectiveness for theater operations, is a continuing commentary on how the senior commander of a military operation pulls all these things together and how IW and Command and Control Warfare (C2W) supports the theater campaign. The paper first establishes some groundwork in the Background section, which presents the concepts of theaters, levels of war, levels of command, OOTW, and sources. Next, IW and C2W are discussed. The Measurement section examines the concept of measuring, looking at what, when, how to measure, and subjective versus objective measures. Examples of theater level measures of effectiveness (MOEs) are provided in the following section, Theater MOE, in which the Theater Level MOE Worksheet is introduced. Modeling is addressed in the next section, which states why models are of interest, suggests improvements, and discusses worksheet applicability. Finally, we present suggestions for improving the measurement of theater level C2W. It is our intent to provide, for policy makers as well as commanders, some techniques for them to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and operations.

"The Air Force staff quickly came up with an air campaign, the brainchild of Colonel John Warden, a brilliant, brash fighter pilot and a leading Air Force intellectual on the use of airpower... Warden's original plan would undergo numerous modifications…but his original concept remained the heart of the Desert Storm air war." Colin Powell Colin Powell, My American Journey Since its original publication The Air Campaign: Planning for Combat has been translated into more than a half dozen languages and is in use at military colleges throughout the world. This book would later serve as the basis for the planning of much of the Gulf War air campaign. Generals Schwarzkopf and Powell credited Col. Warden with creating the air campaign that defeated Iraq in the Gulf War. This new edition includes a new epilogue where Col. Warden has refined and extended many of the ideas presented in the original book. The most significant of these refinements is the development of the theory of the enemy as a system-which flows from the center of gravity concepts developed in the first edition.

This document reports on independent, exploratory research on air campaign planning and execution. Its purpose is threefold: (1) to provide observations on the current processes and capabilities for planning and executing air operations in theater conflicts; (2) to identify key issues associated with those processes; and (3) to recommend analytic concentrations for future research. Our primary focus is at the broadest level of campaign planning and execution- activities flowing from the definition of campaign and operational objectives down to the allocation, apportionment, and tasking of forces. Our work involved interviews with a variety of USAF organizations. We did not explicitly interview personnel in other service or joint organizations; hence, we are plainly offering a USAF perspective on campaign planning. However, most of the USAF entities we talked with are intimately involved in joint and combined operations and planning, and Air Force doctrine and perceptions will likely play an important role in shaping future air campaigns. Therefore, we believe that this report has relevance beyond the confines of the USAF planning community. (KAR) P. 9.

This book contains the proceedings of an interna tional symposium devoted to Modeling and Analysis of Defense Processes in the context of land/air warfare. It was sponsored by Panel VII (on Defense Applications of Operational Research) of NATO's Defense Research Group (DRG) and took place 27-29 July 1982 at NATO headquarters in Brussels. Except perhaps for the Theater-Level Gaming and Analysis Workshop, sponsored by the Office of united 1 states Naval Research in 1977 , this symposium was the first international scientific meeting on Operations Research/Systems Analysis in the area of land/air war fare since the conference on Modeling Land Battle Systems 2 for Military Planning sponsored by NATO's Special Pro gramme Panel on Systems Science in 1974. That conference dealt primarily with modeling small unit (company, bat talion) engagements and, to a lesser extent, large unit (corps, theater) campaigns with principal emphasis on attrition processes and movement in combat. It was considered as rather successful in that it revealed the state-of-the art around 1972 and identified problem areas and promising approaches for future developments. lWith regard to foreign attendance, this wo- shop was largely limited to participants from the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany (see L.J. Low: Theater-Level Gaming and Analysis Workshop for Force Planning, Vol II-Summary, Discus sion of Issues and Requirements for Research, SRI Report, May, 1981).

"In the relatively short 32-year time-span between 1986 and 2018, the United States (US) military fundamentally changed its model for operating in a regional theater. At the start of this thesis' timeframe, the United States focused on achieving defined endstates, generally utilizing traditional warfare, and operating within the bipolar competition with the Soviet Union (USSR). Furthermore, the Weinberger-Powell Doctrine's constraining influence and post-Vietnam congressional limits underpinned early campaign planning. In contrast, the current campaign model features open-ended military campaigns conducted simultaneously around the globe with fewer constraints and unencumbered by traditional military objectives such as battlefield victories. Instead, the current campaign concept focuses on priorities intending to advance regional stability, which could lead to the US military's maintaining perpetual regional oversight through force employment. Much of the codification for this change in underlying assumptions appear in the theater-level campaign concept, now officially codified in US joint forces doctrine as the Combatant Command (CCMD) Campaign Plan (CCP). As a result of these changes to the theater-level campaign, this thesis seeks to answer the following question: Why did the CCP change from its original purpose, which entailed contingency campaign plans focused on a distinct, conventional armed conflict, to those in which military action becomes a "shaping tool," undertaken continuously and resulting in a state of never-ending quasi-warfare? The central argument of this thesis is that while the end of bipolarity in 1992 created the conditions for a paradigm shift, institutional inertia preserved the "contingency" military employment paradigm until 2008, when the cumulative effect of new leadership policies and lessened Congressional oversight pushed the "shaping" paradigm to the doctrinal and plans level. Understanding how the shift to a "shaping" military employment paradigm occurred is vital because the CCP is the understanding of how the United States wages a theater-level military campaign. Given the uncertainty introduced by the blending of war and peace, understanding how and why the change occurred is critical to the debate surrounding the Geographic Combatant Command's role in US foreign policy."--Abstract.
