Simulations are widely used in the military for training personnel, analyzing proposed equipment, and rehearsing missions, and these simulations need realistic models of human behavior. This book draws together a wide variety of theoretical and applied research in human behavior modeling that can be considered for use in those simulations. It covers behavior at the individual, unit, and command level. At the individual soldier level, the topics covered include attention, learning, memory, decisionmaking, perception, situation awareness, and planning. At the unit level, the focus is on command and control. The book provides short-, medium-, and long-term goals for research and development of more realistic models of human behavior.

The discussion on the first two of these, the Planning and Practice school and the Learning school, are contained in volume one. Discussions on the latter two, the Positioning school and the Resource-Based school, are featured in volume two. It is essential that the two volumes are read in conjunction as the study is continuous and the dissection made for purely printing purposes.
