Analysis of the Division Restructuring Study Phase I War Games. Volume I. Main Report and Appendices I-III.

Abstract

The Division Restructuring Study (DRS) war gaming effort was undertaken to evaluate the impact of the DRS organization on the effectiveness of an armored division and to develop recommendations for a tailored alternative to that organization. The phase I gaming was intended to make a first cut at determining the differences in combat effectiveness of both a tank heavy task force and the total armored division. Although there were many aspects of the reorganization for which the gaming was unable to measure a change in effectiveness, the analysis supported several recommendations concerning dedicated TOW companies, additional artillery batteries, and requirements for attack helicopter support. Another major result from the gaming was the identification of data voids and tactical limitations to be addressed in phase II. (Author)
