Dokumentasjon av Executive Force : en systemdynamisk modell til støtte for minimalistisk beslutningstrening

Abstract

This report describes Executive Force; the third of a total of five system dynamic models in the FFI-project 846 – Implementering av beslutningstrener (BST II). The model presents a holistic view on the forces governing a typical large-scale politico-military conflict. The model is designed in a very simplistic fashion, so that it will never provide decisive solutions to any specific conflict, but it gives very general guidelines that may apply to any international security conflict. The scenario describes how Sydland borders on Nordland, and the border area (mostly inhabited by minority group; the silvers) has a huge amount of natural resources. This report gives thorough description of the model’s structure and configuration as well as describing how to make use of it in practice.
