Abstract: Abstract According to Wasburn and Kress (2009), “military operations are conducted in the presence of uncertainty, much of which is due to the unpredictability of the enemy.” Further they state that there are two fundamental directions to go: game theory or wargaming. We discuss only game theory here in this report. According to Wasburn et al. (2009) in their discussions, they limit analysis to the two-person zero-sum games for two reasons: (1) combat usually involves two opposing sides and (2) the two-person zero-sum solutions methods are more easily generalizable than the partial conflict (nonzero-sum) games.
