A Compilation of Data on Rates of Advance in Land Combat Operations
Abstract
The U.S. Army Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA) is pleased to host and support our Secretary of the Army Research and Study Fellow for 1989-1990, Dr. Robert L. Helmbold, who won this Fellowship with an excellent proposal for research on rates of advance in land combat operations. This Research Paper surveys the available statistical data on rates of advance. He plans to use these data to study the principal factors governing rates of advance. It is the second paper to appear under this Fellowship (the first having been 'A Survey of Past Work on Rates of Advance in Land Combat Operations,' CAA-RP-90-03, February 1990) and we anticipate it will be followed by another analyzing these data. We are not aware of any other work that covers this area as thoroughly as this Research Paper does. Thus, it provides the Army with a useful basic reference, collecting in one place essentially all of the important statistical data currently available. As such, it furnishes a valuable resource for current and future work in this important field of investigation. Wide dissemination will make this work available to others for study and analysis. Keywords: Operations; Mobility; Survey; Review; Operations research; Rate of advance; Maneuver.
