FOREWORD

Abstract

This volume was initiated by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) Military Operational Medicine Research Directorate in response to a specific need to organize research on behavioral modeling in the Department of Defense. In particular, it was necessary to address relevant issues concerning the metrics, methods, and presuppositions of scientific inquiry in all aspects of human performance research and modeling, with specific focus on individual and small unit performance. The objective of this volume is to bridge the gap between outcome assessment and prediction in military performance literature, and thus to advance the utility and development of individual human performance research, modeling, and simulation.
