No satisfactory technique yet exists in combat models for treating the basic strategy around which all the activities of one side in a combat are organized. After reviewing existing methods of treating command decision-making in combat models, the authors present three new approaches that offer useful capabilities for improved treatment of concepts of operations. In the XMOD methodology, a concept of operations provided by human experts is expanded into program inputs and mechanical-statistical rules and is currently supported on the vector series of corps-through-theater campaign model. MACRO, a highly aggregate theater model fitted to the results of detailed simulated corps campaigns, takes a more abstract view, by treating each commander as an explicit optimizer on input goals and constraints. In a third approach, rule-based systems are derived to simulate the decision-making behavior of gamers, based on the analysis of wargame histories and complemented by knowledge engineering techniques.
