MOEs for Drug Interdiction: Simple Tests Expose Critical Flaws

Abstract

This research memorandum seeks criteria for evaluating interdiction operations against illegal drugs flowing into the U.S. Six candidate measures of effectiveness (MOEs) are subjected to a structured assessment process that tests them for key attributes. All six evaluate real-world operations. Some of the MOEs are shown to have potential for evaluating hypothetical operations explored through war games, exercises, and simulations. The assessment process itself offers a ready-made standard for testing additional candidate MOEs.
