LMI and MORS publish analysis methods

Donald L. Pilling, CEO of LMI, says "This book is a valuable reference for military analysts. Bringing together multiple analytic methods and emphasizing their interrelationships will help future analysts choose the best techniques and ultimately produce better decisions for our national security."

For more than three years, 45 authors have collaborated on this book, which was edited by Andrew G. Loerch, Distinguished Visiting Scholar for the LMI Research Institute and MORS Past President, in conjunction with Larry B. Rainey. Topics covered include theater campaign analysis, smaller scale contingencies, support to the combatant commander, force structure, acquisition, C4ISR, strategic mobility, logistics, and many others. The editors emphasize the interrelation of these analyses and attempt to provide a balanced view of analytical methods employed by the various services.

MORS President Jack Keane of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory says, "This outstanding publication provides decision makers and problem solvers in government, academia, and industry with a comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging set of methodologies that combine to form the basis of operations research as they pertain to the spectrum of military operations, from requirements engineering to winning America's wars."

In 2004, LMI established the LMI Research Institute to underscore its commitment to basic research.The Research Institute
