Combat History Analysis Study Effort (CHASE) Data Enhancement Study (CDES). Volume 4. Task 4 and Task 5

Abstract

The purpose of task 4 is to provide refined duration values for engagements for which detailed data is available. The original data base gives battle duration in days, but this time increment is considered by CAA to be too coarse for many statistical analyses. All reasonable temporal descriptions were considered in determining an engagement's duration, and, if contradictory evidence was found, the information judged to be most reliable was used. The purpose of task 5 is to provide the defender's width of front for those engagements in which the defender's frontage differs significantly from that of the attacker.
