The combat fighting vehicle, which combines the characteristics of mobility with high volumes of firepower, dominates the desert battlefield and is the focus of this study. Graphical methods and analytic techniques are developed to describe the battle In terms of direct fire synchronization and a mission measure of effectiveness (MOE). This research is being conducted under the U.S. Army's Battle Enhanced Analysis Methodologies (BEAM) study, which is developing objective doctrinal AirLand battle measures and visuals displays to enhance training analysis.
