Using Modeling and Simulation to Advance Effects Based Security Forces Planning: Developing Prototype Approaches to Estimate Risk Reduction Across Security Missions
Abstract
U.S. Air Force (USAF) Security Forces (SF) are responsible for detecting, deterring, denying, and defeating security threats in both garrison and expeditionary environments. The SF must address everyday threats that are very similar to those that a civilian law enforcement organization responds to on a day-to-day basis.Simultaneously, the SF must address threats that are distinctly military in nature: protecting bases from potentially highly capable attackers. Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) has the added requirement of protecting critical nuclear weapons assets, as well as the aircraft and personnel involved in the management and deployment of those assets.Although existing security planning supports detailed bottom-up, asset-based security planning (e.g.,the current Enterprise Protection Risk Management process and supporting tools), such processes do not fully explore the risk trade-offs that are associated with different security strategies, nor do they identify opportunities for SF strategies to manage multiple risks simultaneously.
