AN ALGORITHM FOR GENERATING RANDOM TIME DELAYS IN MANUAL WAR GAMES

Abstract

A method of deriving a probability distribution function to approximate the distribution of times required for the conduct of military operations is developed. A procedure for collecting the necessary data is suggested, and a detailed description of an algorithm for manual generation of random times is given. Thus the capability of introducing random times to simulate time delays in manual war games is provided
