Catalog of Wargaming and Military Simulation Models
Abstract
The 11th Edition of the catalog contains descriptions of 347 simulations, war games, exercises, and models in general use throughout the Department of Defense and in the defense establishments of Australia, Canada, England, and West Germany. The individual models are listed alphabetically in Appendix D by acronym (if one exists) or by long title. Each catalog entry includes the date of implementation; the proponent, point of contact, purpose, description, construction, sidedness, and limitations of the model; the improvements and modifications that are planned for the model; the input to and output of the model; the hardware, software, security classification, frequency of use, and users of the model; and general data pertaining to the time requirements of the model. The matrix of models by category, which incorporates a new system of model classification called SIMTAX, itemizes specific characteristics of each model. Consequently, the matrix enables the user of the catalog to readily find models that will fulfill particular needs. The catalog draws upon inputs from analysis agencies in the various defense establishments, independent contractors and research organizations, and similar catalogs of games and simulations. Keywords: War games; Computerized simulation indexes; Military strategy; United States military forces; Theater level operations.
