Combat Assessment in MEF Battlespace Shaping

Abstract

The Author examines the concept of Combat Assessment (CA) in general and the process at the MEF level. Using I MEF's CA shortcomings during Desert Storm as a baseline, the study identifies subsequent advances in terms of applicable equipment, organizational infrastructure and procedures within the MEF Headquarters and their potential contributions to CA process improvement. The Author concludes that potentially serious deficiencies still exist in MEF CA capability despite advances since Desert Storm.
