Simulation of Critical Materials Resource Strategies. Executive Summary.
Abstract
This report concludes that demonstration of Decision Science's top down methodology has conclusively shown the capability to relate commodities, sources, stockpile requirements, military assets and the external environment (military, political and socioeconomic) in a dynamic, interactive evaluation of strategies relative to the strategic and critical material stockpile. With this adjunct to existing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Models, FEMA will have the analytic tools necessary to simulate the various strategies and thus achieve a better outcome of the vital decision process as it relates to the assurance of national security. Further, the definition of the Joint US/USSR Purpose enables, for the first time, a quantitative evaluation of the interactions of the superpowers and how these affect our stockpile strategies. This is a key asset for use in stockpile strategy formulation, considering the moves and countermoves of the major protagonists in the arena of critical materials.
