Survivability--The Effort and the Payoff.

Abstract

This monograph assesses the value of protective construction and attempts to clarify the question of its cost-effectiveness as it affects the engineer battalion. By reviewing the work of others, it shows that protective construction is effective, both historically and analytically. It also provides an estimate of effort required for minimum level of protective construction, draws conclusions relative to its cost benefit, shows that it has a high payoff, and hopefully provides for better decisions as to how much engineer effort can and should be diverted to survivability.
