"This study summarizes a wide-ranging investigation of combat operations, military theory, and command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) that occurred during my 1981-82 tour at the Airpower Research Institute (ARI) as a research associate sponsored by Air Force Systems Command (AFSC). In previous assignments, I had used my training in mathematics and computer science in formulating, implementing, and using computer models of pieces of the combat operations process. I had also been introduced to C3I systems and concepts during an extensive review of AFSC analysis efforts related to C3I. These experiences left me dissatisfied with the treatment of strategy and C3I in engagement modeling. Therefore, when AFSC asked for nominations for the ARI, I applied and suggested an investigation of the interrelation between C3I and strategy as a research topic."--Abstract.
