in a Constructive Combat Model

ABSTRACT: The Battle of 73 Easting was recreated using VT MÄK's VR-Forces constructive combat model. The battle was carefully recreated by representing the specific starting locations, formations, routes, combat entities, and weapons present in the battle. The model's weapon and entity parameters were modified from within the simulation tool's user interface. The method employed was similar to the retroactive predication validation method, but the objective in this work was not to determine the degree to which the model as given recreated the historical outcome; rather, the model's parameters were iteratively modified until the model's results were acceptably close to the historical outcome. By recreating a real world historical battle, the battle and its outcome are better understood, the validity of the combat model is assessed, and methods for accommodating anomalous historical outcomes are explored.
