CONOPS that is then instantiated in a closed‐loop simulation for quantitative analysis, or it can be far more complex. The analysis done for the US Army’s Future Combat Systems used over 50 different wargames and simulations.38 As Kline et al. describe: “We concurrently select a model or series of models to represent the campaign environment. Broadly speaking, models bound the campaign in either a series of engagements (pulses of power) or a continuous operation where many small engagements create a larger effect (cumulative warfare).”39 “Model categories range from closed‐form probabilistic equations, computer simulations, optimization, and wargames to field experiments and operational rehearsals.”40 “For example, a wargame may help to develop concepts of operation and employment for the opposing sides. The wargame’s interactions may be adjudicated by tactical simulations, equations, historic engagements or professional judgment. Once an employment concept or course of action is generated, it may be programmed in a larger campaign simulation to conduct analysis on many model variations.”41

      The realization that a campaign is a series of engagements or many small engagements that create a larger effect reinforces the realization that Lanchester made studying the battle of Trafalgar, and the conclusion that the CARMONETTE mathematical modelers came to about half a century after Lanchester: applying a closed‐form computer simulation to combat should only be done for small, short engagements, because the human decision‐making is such an important element of combat that to ignore it and presume that algorithms alone could accurately model the complexity of a campaign of modern combat’s decision processes is pure folly.
