Design and Specification of a Combat Readiness Evaluation System

Abstract

Due to the overwhelming success of the MCCRESSA system throughout the Marine Corps as a means of measuring the combat readiness of units associated with combat readiness exercises, it became apparent that intermediate action must be taken to handle the increased computational workload associated with these formal evaluations. In coordination with the equipment that was installed, it was necessary to take the prototype software and modify it so that it would be in more of an operational mode and more readily usable by untrained personnel. This modification was made and the associated software was distributed to each of the five sites that were equipped with the IBM 5110's. The software that was distributed included the basic MCCRESSA program as well as data files for the associated volumes that are included in the MCCRESSA documentation.
