This book explores the theoretical foundations and applications of military operationallogistics (OpLog). OpLog theory has two facets: qualitative and quantitative.The qualitativefacet is imbedded in the theory of operational level of war or operational art. Itincludes principles, imperatives and tenets, which are stated and analyzed in the firstfew chapters. The quantitative facet relates to the scientific aspects of OpLog. It is manifestedby formal network models representing structural and operational features of anOpLog system. The book examines the two facets and integrates them into...

Combat Modeling is a systematic learning resource and reference text for the quantitative analysis of combat. After a brief overview, authors Washburn and Kress present individual chapters on shooting without feedback; shooting with feedback; target defense; attrition models; game theory and wargames; search; unmanned aerial vehicles; and terror and insurgency. Three appendices provide a review of basic probability concepts, probability distributions, and Markov models; an introduction to optimization models; and a discussion of Monte-Carlo simulations. This is a book that can be...

Evidence shows that global climate change is occurring. Research and debate continue on the role of increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases in influencing climate change. Many sectors are or will be influenced by changing climate and climate variability, including increasing global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of unusual weather events. Agriculture and the world's supply of food and fiber are particularly vulnerable to such climate change.
