Unit of Action Janus Gaming

Abstract

The Unit of Action Maneuver Battle Laboratory (UAMBL) in conjunction with other TRADOC agencies and schools conducted analysis on the Unit of Action and the Future Combat System in order to finish completion of the Operations and Organization (O&O) document and the Operational Requirements Document (ORD). The UAMBL in conjunction with contractor and other TRADOC personnel conducted the warfighting analysis in the Maneuver Warfare Test Bed (MWTB) during the period 8 July - 16 August 2002. A computer suite consisting of a host and 20 stations running the Janus model was used to simulate combat operations at various echelons on Asian terrain to gain insights into the warfighting capability of the force and various platforms. The objectives of the analysis was to determine the warfighting effectiveness at the platoon, company and battalion echelons of the Unit of Action force; to determine and compare the force effectiveness of the battalion fighting "pure" and task organized companies; to determine and compare the force effectiveness of the battalion fighting during day and night scenarios; and to examine the model output for potential use in the ORD documentation for the Future Combat System.
