Abstract
Modeling and simulation of military operational concepts has historically been exceedingly difficult and costly. This is in part due to the inherent complexity of military operations. This paper discusses a method of analysis, Agent-Based Modeling, which brings an appropriate level of complexity to the task of evaluating military operational concepts. Techniques for military concept development are addressed and a potential case study is presented.
