Improving the Warrior Preparation Center (WPC) Air Campaign Analysis Capability
Abstract
The Warrior Preparation Center (WPC) at Einsiedlerhof AS, Germany provides JTF staff level computer training. During a recent mission rehearsal, WPC was asked to conduct an air campaign analysis. As a result of this analysis, WPC is looking at ways to improve its current capabilities. Since there is limited data published on this topic, investigation of the air campaign analysis capabilities at key Air Force (AF) sites was the primary source of data. The key AF sites included in this study were WPC, Checkmate, the Command & Control Training and Innovation Center (C2TIC), the Air Force Wargaming Institute (AFWI), and the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS). The research focused specifically on air campaign analysis processes and tools. The findings reveal common themes, innovative processes, and several candidate analysis tools. An analysis of the findings led to the development of a notional air campaign analysis process and a comparison of the existing analysis tools. Subsequently, the notional air campaign analysis process and best tools were combined into real-world applicable air campaign analysis process. Finally, an improvement game plan was recommended, including implementation considerations and potential areas for future research.
