military operations, and emergency management of natural and man-made
disasters, do and will continue to involve operations in highly complex, urban
environments. These environments include complex geographical, communications,
transportation, informational, social, political, and public support
subsystems. The interdependence of these subsystems and the cascading effects
of warfare or disasters imposed upon them should be modeled in a computer
simulation environment. It is important for the security and safety of the
Department of Defense to study and understand the effects of warfare and
disasters on the resiliency of urban environments and to develop a computer
modeling and simulation decision-making tool for emergency consequence
management of military, natural and man-made disasters in complex urban
environments.</text>
