Main Theater Warfare Modeling in the RAND Strategy Assessment System (3.0)

Abstract

This Note provides an overview of the main theater warfare model developed for the RAND Strategy Assessment System (RSAS) in its effort to define new analytic methods based on the structure of global political-military war gaming. This model covers land and air combat in Central Europe and Korea; a separately documented model covers other theaters. These models are part of a global combat model (CAMPAIGN) providing a fully integrated treatment of conventional, theater-nuclear, and intercontinental-nuclear warfare worldwide. CAMPAIGN, in turn, is part of a larger system that includes national-level political models concerned with issues such as grand strategy, escalation, and termination. The RSAS emphasizes a strategic-level view of events relevant to national leaders or theater commanders rather than, for example, corps commanders. (jhd)
