The methodology involves coding historical cases of U.S. Marine Corps infantry battalions for mission accomplishment, unit attributes, contextual variables, and mission types, then analyzing the results with regression and other appropriate statistical techniques. This memorandum includes material on case selection and drafting of narrative summaries.
