Abstract

The military has been executing its detection and monitoring mission in the war on drugs for over a year and pressures continue to mount for an expanded military role. This paper reviews the genesis of the current mission and analyzes the measures of effectiveness used in attempting to measure its success. The scope of this analysis focuses on the development of appropriate measures of effectiveness using NWP 11's technique of mission analysis. To be of use, the Measures of effectiveness applied by the military must focus on the specific detection and monitoring mission assigned vice the larger mission of drug interdiction as a whole.
