A proposed foundation for a theory of combat

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), 1995, vol. 42, issue 3, 311-343

Abstract: Physical phenomena and the structure of corresponding theories are used as a guide to examine the nature of combat and combat theory. The status of combat theory with special emphasis on modeling is scrutinized and found to be seriously deficient. We assert that present knowledge and experience show two statements are worthy of consideration as basic axioms in a theory of combat. The direction of future research is discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
