Final Report of Robert M. Thrall and Associates to U. S. Army Strategy and Tactics Analysis Group. (STAG).

Abstract

The report deals with the mathematical theory of combat in various aspects. Chapter 1 is an introduction and summary, Chapter 2 deals with measures of effectiveness, Chapter 3 provides a general mathematical basis for the Lanchester philosophy of combat, Chapter 4 develops a number of special Lanchester models, and Chapter 5 contains some suggestions for improvements in the TARTARUS IV model. The mathematics used draws on the theory of abstract vector spaces and functional analysis. (Author)
