註釋

This thesis analyzes current U.S. Army defensive doctrine of committing a force forward of the main battle area as a covering force. It presents a theory for the correct assessment of covering force effectiveness and the applicability of Lanchester-type models to represent this tactic is demonstrated. Several simple Lanchester-type models are used to analyze the commitment of the covering force and its contribution to the total defensive battle. The key elements of combat dynamics are identified and modelled. A computer-based model is constructed and run iteratively to determine the optimal percentage of forces to be deployed as a covering force in various defensive situations. (Author).
