Catalog of War Gaming and Military Simulation Models

Book excerpt: This catalog contains a brief description of 152 military simulations and models which are in general use throughout the Department of Defense. The models and simulations are categorized as to application. Thus, there are 46 Strategic Forces models, 22 General Purpose Land Forces models, 14 General Purpose Air Forces models, 19 General Purpose Naval Forces models, 11 General Purpose Combined Arms models, 32 Logistics models, 3 Personnel models, 3 Communications-Electronics models and 2 Politico-Military simulations. All models are listed alphabetically, and are indexed by short and long title and model type. The model descriptions were submitted by 38 proponents and reflect the efforts of 47 separate developers. The description for each model includes: proponent, developer, purpose, general description, input, output, limitations, hardware, software, time requirements, security classification, frequency of use, users, and point of contact for additional information. The inclusion of a specific model in the catalog was at the discretion of its proponent, and thus does not in any way constitute indorsement of the model by the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
