COIN 2.0 Formulation

Abstract

The Department of Defense has long used computational models to support military planning at all levels strategic, operational and tactical. Since Cold War planning scenarios assumed the likelihood of attack to be one, those scenarios were focused on either the promulgation of an attack or on the response to or mitigation of one. Computational models of the battlespace thus focused on kinetic aspects of an engagement. Developments in simulation of social environments occurred separately from such battlespace planning. In fact, in most cases, the problem focus for the development of social simulations has been on private or civil sector problems such as the exercise of social capital through social networks, the modeling of crowds or of the behavior of firms or other organizations.
