Non-kinetic operations for stabilizing government

Abstract

The United States Army uses war games to better understand the outcome of military maneuvers before formal executed. These war games seldom include the use of non-kinetic tactics and counterinsurgency doctrine. Thus, they limit viable courses of action that can be taken in support of regional stability. This study uses a regression model to model the integration of non-kinetic actions into a war game and produce a measure of stability for every action that is taken. It will allow military leadership to assess non-kinetic effects using a general model that can be applied to a broad set of regions.
