ABSTRACT
The Joint Warfare System (JWARS) is a campaign-level model of military
operations that is currently being developed under contract by the Office
of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for use by OSD, the Joint Staff, the
Services, and the Warfighting Commands. The goal of JWARS is to provide
these users with a simulation of joint warfare that will support operational
planning and execution, force assessment studies, system trade analyses,
and concept and doctrine development. Accomplishing this for analyses
of the early 21st century requires a simulation that provides a "balanced
representation of Joint Warfare". This balanced representation
will have visibility into: 1) the C4ISR systems and processes that area
an integral part of US CONOPS; 2) the impact of logistics, both strategic
and intra-theater, on the warfight; and 3) maneuver warfare, at the
operational level. These capabilities respond to known deficiencies
in the current state-of-the-art in military modeling. They also form
the core modeling contributions of the simulation.
