Logic Model for Non-Lethal Weapons in the U.S. Department of Defense

Abstract

A multi-year RAND project examined how to evaluate the tactical, operational, and strategic impact of non-lethal weapons (NLWs), a subset of intermediate force capabilities (IFCs). Researchers delineated the direct outputs and higher-level outcomes of NLW usage, considered how to measure their impact, and linked them to the strategic goals of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Their findings provided insight into how to better integrate NLWs throughout DoD.
