Modelling & Simulation Support to the Effects Based Approach to Operations - Observations from Using GAMMA in MNE 4
Abstract
NATO participates in the Multinational Experiment series (MNE) on the Effects Based Approach to Operations (EBAO). These experiments look on a new concept to plan, execute and assess complex crisis response operations. Modelling and Simulation can help in many ways to support the Effects Based Approach to Operations and can help on the other hand to set up the experimentation environment to develop new concepts. NC3A supported MNE 4 with its collaborative planning support system EB-TOPFAS (Effects Based Tools for Operational Planning Force Activation and Simulation) and with the simulation and course of action assessment tool GAMMA (Global Aggregated Model for Military Assessment). The paper is based on the experiences of the author supporting the Combined Task Force with GAMMA in MNE 4. The paper will describe the setup of the experiment and the role of modelling and simulation in MNE 4. The use of GAMMA in the EBAO context will be explained. Major activities and observations will be described. Conclusions and recommendations will conclude the paper.
