Automated Second Echelon Commitments for the C3EVAL Model

The C3EVAL model is being developed by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) for the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS/J6). The model is to provide one element of a workstation being developed for JCS that is to be used to evaluate theater level command, control and communications (C3) in terms of combat consequences. The red commander enhancement to the C3EVAL model provides a red side that is independent of the blue side. The enhancement also automates the commitment of second echelon forces on the red side. This research report describes the foundation for this enhancement.
