AURA-AMORE (Army Unit Resiliency Analysis-Analysis of Military Organizational Effectiveness) Pilot Study of the Resiliency of a Forward Area Signal Platoon

摘要

A pilot study was initiated in April of FY84 to apply both the Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) developed Army Unit Resiliency Analysis (AURA) model and Science Applications, Incorporated (SAI) developed AMORE model to the resiliency analysis of a signal unit in order to compare the models' outputs, resource requirements, applicability and ease of use. The Light Infantry Division Signal Battalion was selected as a test case for this study. The U.S. Army Signal School was responsible for developing the inputs required for the analysis and for exercising the AMORE methodology. BRL, using identical inputs, was responsible for applying the AURA methodology. A Forward Area Signal Platoon (FASP) was chosen as the first unit to analyze in the Signal Battalion. The results of the AURA analysis of this platoon are reported in this report. Where appropriate, comparisons between the AMORE model and the AURA model are made. The applicability of the AURA methodology as well as its ease of use were demonstrated during this study. The modelling of the operations of the FASP was relatively easy using the structures available in aura. These structures lent themselves well to this application.
