156. The relationship between operational graphics and battlefield success

Author

Stafford, Charles A., Read, Robert R., Dryer, David A., Whitaker, Lyn R., Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.), and Operations Research (OR)

Subjects
Operational, National Training Center, Graphic methods, Combat, Operations research, Deliberate Attack
Abstract

This thesis analyzes deliberate attack missions conducted at the U.S. Army National Training Center (NTC) and evaluates the relationship between the operational graphics used and three unit performance measures of effectiveness (MOE). A methodology for categorizing and evaluating operational graphics is developed along with frequency of operational graphics usage information. A correlation between unit performance and operational graphics evaluations to the measures of effectiveness. Discriminant data analysis techniques attempting to further define a causal relationship proved inconclusive due to observation sample size and unquantified concomitant variables. The methodology and analysis contained in this thesis have application to both the creation of training standards for improvement of unit performance, and the evaluation of current operational graphics doctrine. Included within the research are descriptions of the NTC environment, Combat Training Center Archive, battalion task force organization, the use of operational graphics to portray deliberate attack missions, and the task force deliberate attack. http://archive.org/details/therelationshipb1094534941 Captain, United States Army Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

177. Two-level model for decay out of a superdeformed band.

Abstract

Since the discovery of superdeformed bands in nuclei, physicists have been challenged to understand the decay-out mechanism. Presently two theories exist for describing the decay-out intensity from the superdeformed band. These theoretical investigations yield qualitatively different results, depending upon the relative values of the relevant decay widths. We present a simple two-level model for the dynamics of the tunneling between the superdeformed and the normal-deformed bands, which treats the decay and tunneling processes on an equal footing. We find that the previous theoretical results correspond to coherent and incoherent limits, respectively, of the full tunneling dynamics. Our model accounts for experimental data in both the A∼150 mass region (coherent tunneling) and the A∼190 mass region (incoherent tunneling). © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
